The World's Wonder Ships, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, 1949
01
Artifact Overview
In this brochure, Cunard White Star Line emphasized the size, speed, and comfort of its ships Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. The ocean liners 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.
