THE ASHBURIAN [29] R.M.S. Queen Mary (Cont ' d) In the fitting-out basin the ship remained until 1936, when she sailed down the Clyde to the open sea. At one time during- her journey down stream she was aground fore and aft and there was the danger that as the tide went down her back would be broken, but she made the trip safely and docked in Southampton. The Queen Mary, however, is not merely a mechanical triumph ; she is an artistic triumph as well. The greatest designers and decorators have all played their part in making this ship the Queen of the Seas. Beautiful as is the ex- terior of the boat her interior is well able to keep pace with it in magnificence. The public rooms are on a scale never before attempted. The main lounge, ninety feet long, seventy feet wide and twenty-two feet high, is finished in a gold tinted, veneered wood. At one end of this room there is a fully equipped stage, while in the whole room the ships of Columbus ' s fleet, plus the first Cunarder, the Britannia, might be placed with ease. The first class restaurant is the largest room ever built into a ship, being one hundred and eighteen feet wide and one hundred and sixty feet long by thirty feet in height. The veranda grill is yet another room in which modern invention plays an important part. In this room the lights change colour completely as the music varies in tone and theme. The Queen Mary has also been fitted with two swimming pools, one for the first class passengers, the other for the Tourists, and a cocktail bar of immense pro- portions has been fitted in the front of the superstructure and commands a view of the limitless ocean beyond. This is only a glimpse of the sumptuous interior of this giant liner, yet it gives a good impression of her magnificence and the thought that lies behind every detail of her construction. She is a luxury liner, but above that she is, as the King himself remarked when he inspected her in March of this year, a ship built for utility . May she fulfil her mission and be a means of cementing even further friendships between the Old World and the New.
