One year ago today I attached the above photograph to a post about the anticipated visit to New York City by the ocean liners Queen Elizabeth 2, Queen Mary 2, and the brand new Queen Victoria at the same time. It turns out that the caption I put up was wrong. A reader sent me an email earlier today with the correction. I am copying it below for those interested.
Your Photo of the three queens is incorrect. You may have received plenty of posts about this before but if not here is the scoop on your photo. The ship you're identifying as the Queen Mary is actually the Berengaria. Next to her is probably the Georgic or maybe he Britannic. Then the Normandie, then either the Rex or the Conte Di Savoia, then either the Bremen or Europa.
This photo had to be taken in 1935, Nornamdie's first year but before the Queen Mary's maiden voyage of 1936.
Thank you Bob for your fascinating background information.
