When A. Roquin designed this sleek Art Deco poster for the Cunard Lines' New York to Southampton route in 1938, he focused on New York skyscrapers: the Chanin, Chrysler, and New York Central buildings. Flanking them are the R.M.S. Queen Mary and the R.M.S. Queen Elizabeth.

A new group had formed in hopes of saving the SS United States. They're seeking a federal injunction to prevent her destruction, as she is registered as an official historic landmark in 1999, and sinking her would constitute a violation of law. Furthermore, a significant portion of her construction was made from aluminum, which can not be removed. Based on my understanding, if sunk, that aluminum could polute the water. I'd like to try and draw some attention to this petition that the organization created. I've already signed, and I'd like to urge anyone who sees this to do the same. Even if this petition does nothing, and this groups efforts are in vain, the 15 seconds it takes to sign are well worth the chance of preserving this marvel of human engineering.

"Three ships who have contributed much to the history of the sea are seen together at adjoining berths in the Hudson River at New York City, U.S.A., on Nov. 9, 1945. They are left to right: RMS Queen Mary, holder of the Blue Riband of the Atlantic; the USS MISSOURI (BB-63), on whose quarterdeck the Japanese surrender was signed and USS EUROPA (AP-177), former German luxury liner and onetime holder of the Atlantic record now being used as an American troopship."
Photographed on November 9, 1945.

queen mary on war service, thousands of men on deck postcard ca. 1946-47
the mary was a crucial troop transport ship during wwii; she carried up to 15,000 troops on crossings, and could carry as many as 16,683 (the most passengers ever transported on a single ship, crew included). she received the nickname "the grey ghost" because of her wartime paint and sheer speed.

I don't wanna talk about how long did it take me to finally get to her... but here she is, RMS Queen Mary, in all her glory!
Period accurate clothing my ass. I decided that for most Cunard queens I'm gonna go for more regal clothing because the worms in my brain CRAVE even more variety or else I will blow up on the spot
