EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the iconic Cunard liner, "Queen Mary" as it gracefully docks in Southampton on 30 October 1952. The image showcases the grandeur and elegance of this magnificent vessel, which was a symbol of luxury and sophistication during its time. Fast forward to modern times, and we witness the birth of its successor, the "Queen Mary 2". Construction for this opulent cruise ship began on 16 January 2002 at the Atlantic Shipyard in Saint-Nazaire. With an impressive length of 345 meters, equivalent to a towering 21-story building, this luxurious liner has been designed to accommodate up to 3000 passengers. The juxtaposition between these two vessels from different eras highlights the evolution of maritime engineering and design. While both ships embody timeless beauty and grace, they represent distinct chapters in naval history. As we admire this photograph by Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are reminded of the rich heritage that lies within every ship's journey. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our eternal fascination with exploration across vast oceans
