RMS Queen Mary - Horatio Nicholls' "Queen of the Sea", 1936

This shows the RMS QUEEN MARY as she was on her launch and maiden voyage. Truly, "a tribute to British engineering" lets her amazing creation of Art Deco luxury stay today as one of the most historic landmarks of transatlantic masterpieces.

MARY on the Sea...Sail Enchanted on a Superliner Extravaganza





P
oetry on my favo(u)rite ocean liner...prospering through 31 years of service, 7 of which provided troops, and their wives, as pleasent a crossing as she could give in such conditions. This liners maiden voyage was very popular, and widely acclaimed as one of the grandest, most elegant, fastest, and largest ocean liners in the world:



One big Liner
I can very much site her
Making her way
For her very big day
To the USA

A big ship of wonder
One to handle rain and Thunder
Big and strong
So very long

Starting in England
Needing but a helping hand
Sailing through the sea to a remote land

She is oh so very reliable
With her big massive hull
She can handle only the roughest of seas
Being big, able and beautiful as she’s
May I get a glimpse at her please?

She’s as shiny as a cherry

Named after the her royal honor
Why it is the Queen Mary

How I am so fond of her

So come sailing
Hang on the railing
Yes come aboard the most finest ship
That’s big day will surly make a big hit

Sail with Cunard
Sail the Atlantic all the way
That is what I say
