EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the departure of the renowned Cunard liner Aquitania from Southampton to New York on a sunny Saturday, May 14th, 1921. The image showcases the golden age of ocean travel, where luxury liners like Aquitania were symbols of elegance and sophistication. The bustling quayside is filled with an excited crowd of spectators eagerly bidding farewell to loved ones or simply marveling at the grandeur of this majestic vessel. Amongst them are volunteer stewards, dedicated individuals who selflessly served aboard the ship during its transatlantic journey. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this photograph, emphasizing both the historical significance and nostalgic charm associated with this era. It transports us back to a time when ocean cruises were not just means of transportation but also glamorous adventures that captured people's imaginations. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by the sheer size and beauty of Aquitania as it majestically sails away into open waters. This iconic image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire for exploration and adventure.
