  • Being Lord Grantham: Aristocratic Brand Heritage and the Cunard Transatlantic Crossing
    Being Lord Grantham: Aristocratic Brand Heritage and the Cunard Transatlantic Crossing 1 Highclere Castle as Downton Abbey (Photo by Gill Griffin) By Bradford Hudson During the early 1920s, the Earl of Grantham traveled from England to the United States. The British aristocrat would appear as a character witness for his American brother-in-law, who was a defendant in a trial related to the notorious Teapot Dome political scandal. Naturally he chose to travel aboard a British ship operated by the oldest and most prestigious transatlantic steamship company, the Cunard Line. Befitting his privileged status, Lord Grantham was accompanied by a valet from the extensive staff employed at his manor house, who would attend to any personal needs such as handling baggage or assistance with dressing. Aboard the great vessel, which resembled a fine hotel more than a ship, passengers were assigned to accommodations and dining facilities in one of three different classes of service. Ostensibly the level of luxury was determined solely by price, but the class system also reflected a subtle degree of social status. Guests in the upper classes dressed formally for dinner, with men wearing white or black tie and women wearing ball gowns. Those who had served in the military or diplomatic service sometimes wore their medals or other decorations. Passengers enjoyed elaborate menu items such as chateaubriand and oysters Rockefeller, served in formal style by waiters in traditional livery. The décor throughout the vessel resembled a private club in London or an English country manor house, with ubiquitous references to the British monarchy and empire.

  • Queen Mary 2
    THE QUEEN MARY 2 Introduction The Queen Mary 2 (QM2) is the world’s biggest cruise ship. It is 1,132 feet long (147 feet longer than the Eiffel Tower is high) and it weighs 150,000 gross tons. The vessel will carry 1,253 crew and 2,620 passengers and will be based at Southampton. The total cost of QM2’s construction was approximately £550 million. The owners of the cruiser are Carnival through their Cunard brand. The QM2 was built by the French engineering group Alstom over a period of two years at Alstom Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard at St Nazaire in western France. The QM2 was officially launched on the 8th January 2004. The naval architect for QM2 was Stephen Payne. He played a large role in the success of the project and it should be noted that his responsibilities went beyond those that would normally rest with a Naval Architect. After designing the ship he acted as the pre-construction Project Manager before being promoted to Director of Project Management for this ship and others Carnival had under construction at the time. His endeavours have recently earned him recognition in the form of an OBE. He accepted this award “as recognition of the whole team’s effort that contributed to such a wonderful result”. The Royal Academy of Engineering has also awarded him a “special” prize in January 2006 for his work related with QM2. COMMERCIAL Engaging their suppliers From May 1998, Stephen Payne spent 2 years designing the QM2. Carnival then sent the design to five ship yards that they felt would understand difference between liner and cruiser.

  • Cunard's Three Queens Perform River Dance on the Mersey in Salute to Liverpool Where the Company Began 175 Years Ago
    Cunard's Three Queens Perform River Dance on the Mersey in Salute to Liverpool Where the Company Began 175 Years Ago May 25, 2015 Red Arrows add finishing touch to extraordinary spectacle LIVERPOOL, United Kingdom, May 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, Cunard's fleet gathered together in spectacular fashion in Liverpool, its spiritual home, as the company marked its 175th anniversary. The event culminated with the three ships - flagship Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria - the largest passenger ships ever to muster together on the River Mersey, lined up across the river just 426 feet apart as the Red Arrows performed a fly-past overhead to the delight of the hundreds of thousands of spectators. To view a time lapse video of the Three Queens on the Mersey, click here: http://we.tl/ExXzcmEGWR. Queen Mary 2 sailed from the Liverpool berth up to the mouth of the Mersey this morning at 10:45 a.m. to meet her sisters, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. The three ships then sailed in close single file down the river to Liverpool's Pier Head with its iconic Three Graces: The Royal Liver Building, The Cunard Building and The Port of Liverpool Building. Queen Mary 2 slowed in the river opposite the Cunard Building – Cunard's headquarters for nearly 50 years until 1967 – with her sister ships stopping ahead of her to create a three ship line-up watched by spectators on both sides of the river. Just 1,312 feet apart, the three ships then performed a graceful 180 degree synchronised turn to starboard.

  • The Maiden Voyage of the QUEEN MARY 2
    THE MAIDEN VOYAGE: THE QUEEN MARY 2 VOYAGE FROM SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND TO FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA January 12, 2004 – January 26, 2004 By Alan Zamchick (Photos by the author) This commentary was written immediately after sailing onboard QUEEN MARY 2’s January, 2004 Maiden Voyage and, with an eye on increased perspective, 7 months after that in August, 2004. It was originally written in chapters for the online Ocean Liner discussion group, Liners List and was subsequently published over two editions in the British Ship Publication “Sea Lines,” a short time later. It offers a personal look back at my greatest ocean liner experience and provides some fun details of just how wonderful it was to take part in the QUEEN MARY 2’s “real” Maiden Voyage. Fellow Liners Lister George Prince, whom I only briefly met attending the “final farewell” party on the SS NORWAY on September 5, 2001, offered me the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join him and two others on the Maiden Voyage of the QUEEN MARY 2. George had the incredibly good foresight of plunking down a deposit for an inside four-berth cabin about as early in the scheme of things as possible. George’s wife, Lisa, was hardly taken with the idea of a two-week voyage in those cramped confines and elected to stay home. Imagine my shock and appreciation when George offered me a quarter share of that voyage. Filling out the roster, George offered passage to my good friend, Charles Zuckerman, better known to those on Liners List as Doctor Chaz, and another veteran Liners List member, Ben Lyons.
