01

Artifact Overview

Cunard White Star Line launched RMS Queen Mary in 1934. Along with its running mate, RMS Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mary provided weekly express service between Great Britain, France and the United States. The arrival of transatlantic jet airliners in the late 1950s -- which cut travel time from days to hours -- ended the age of ocean liners.
