A photo of the Bridge and another picture of the Mauretania with the background removed, so it looks as though she is sailing under the bridge.

Great photo!
Only thing I see wrong with it is that the painting depicting this scene (hung in the tourist class smoking room of Queen Mary) shows massive clouds of billowing black smoke rising from her funnels.

I was wondering if any of you have the book, RMS Queen Mary; Transatlantic Masterpiece
by Janette McCutcheon?
In the book there is a page with the painting of Mauretania at the Forth Bridge.
There is also a PHOTOGRAPH of almost the exact same scene wit ha view of Mauretania's Port side.
I was wondering if any of you could scan it and mail me it at [email protected]
Thanks.

Not much detail to be seen since the photo is only a couple of inches square. Hope this helps: http://www.concentric.net/~Reigel/Sm_Cunarders/maury4th.JPG

Nice little soft cover book. Picked it up from Amazon a couple of weeks ago for less than $18.00. Has some of the same photos we've seen before, but several others that aren't too common. Worth picking up IMHO.

Hi,
I have a rather scarce real photo postcard that matches this image quite nicely - taken July 3rd, 1935.

Great image, though the ship looks rather ragged. This wasn't taken on the way to the breakers was it? I seem to recall that the stacks were shortened for that.

Hi Mr. Standart,
yes, it was taken July 3rd, 1935 as she arrived at the breakers right before making her last turn - last moments under her own power actually. It was the masts that were cut down so she would fit under the Firth of Forth Railway Bridge, which is visible on the left. She is flying her "Blue Ribband" aft, for the last time. The image is a bit better - not the best scan.
Best,
Billy
