Picture No 10904211
Date March 1936
Description 'Queen Mary' Ocean Liner to Greenock, Inverclyde
Details

'Queen Mary' set out on its first voyage, from Clydebank where her interior was fitted out, down the river Clyde to Greenock Scotland, escorted by tugs to the sea. Described as "the most dangerous voyage" the 'Queen Mary' was likely ever to have to make. Months and months of careful dredging and channel-widening had been necessary before the 'Queen Mary' could set out on her first journey down river to the sea. In spite of all the work that had been done the clearance between keel and river-bed was in some places only 4 feet.
