Queen Mary Ocean Liner, interior fitted for passenger use
Queen Mary Ocean Liner, in the fitting-out berth at Clydebank in Scotland, which was her home for two years after the launch by Queen Mary in September 1934 to 1936. The light grey of her temporary colouring made her still more conspicuosus. She is shown with both masts and two of her funnels in place. The last section of the aft funnel had not been fitted when the photograph was taken. Date: 1934 to 1936

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Queen Mary Ocean Liner in the fitting-out berth at Clydebank, Scotland during the late 1930s. The Queen Mary, an iconic ocean liner, spent two pivotal years in this Scottish shipyard after her launch by Queen Mary in September 1934. During this period, the ship underwent extensive interior refitting to prepare for her role as a luxurious passenger vessel. The image captures the Queen Mary in an intriguing grey temporary coloring, making her even more conspicuous against the backdrop of the shipyard. Both masts and two of her funnels are already in place, adding to her grandeur. However, the last section of the aft funnel was yet to be fitted when the photograph was taken. The Queen Mary Ocean Liner was a marvel of the 1930s, representing the epitome of oceanic travel. This steamship, with its elegant design and opulent interiors, was a symbol of luxury and sophistication during the thirties. Its time in Clydebank marked a significant milestone in its journey, transforming it from a mere ship to a floating palace for passengers. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of shipbuilding and the evolution of ocean travel during the 1930s. The Queen Mary's story is a testament to the grandeur and allure of a bygone era, when travel by sea was an event in itself.
