NEW YORK WORLD-TELEGRAM, May 27, 1936
* Cunard liner RMS Queen Mary
* Maiden voyage begins w/ photo
The front page has a one column heading: "S.S. QUEEN MARY HEADS FOR U. S." with subhead. First report coverage continues on page 8 with related photo (see images). Nice to have from the city where she would end her maiden voyage.
Complete with all 48 pages, light toning at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, minimal brittleness, generally nice.
AI notes: The RMS Queen Mary embarked on her maiden voyage on May 27, 1936. She was a British ocean liner built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland, for the Cunard-White Star Line, intended to be one of the fastest and most luxurious liners of her era. The voyage departed from Southampton, England, bound for New York City, marking the beginning of her career as a transatlantic passenger ship. Queen Mary quickly became renowned for her elegance, speed, and size, representing the pinnacle of 1930s ocean liner travel. She would later be converted to a troopship during World War II before returning to civilian service, solidifying her place as one of the most iconic ships of the 20th century.
