Creator's Key Takeaways
Cunard contracted Britannia he specifically asked for a ship with no unnecessary frills or expense
quite the different situation when I was given the commissioned to design and build Queen Mary to where i was told that we wanted to emulate the great ships of state from the 1930s
one of the most important things with the ship is that she's a true ocean liner and part of that is the shape of the bow it's much more pointed much more streamlined ship
Queen Mary to the current flagship of Cunard Line embodies all the traditions and knowledge from the Britannia 1840 all distilled in this one great ship
