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. -

This set of china includes the following pieces: two (2) 10" round plates, three (3) 9 1/2" round plates, one (1) 10" novelty plate, one (1) 9 1/4" x 7" oval plate, one (1) 7 1/4" round plate, four (4) 6" round plates, one (1) ceramic drinking pitcher, one (1) cappachino cup and saucer (diameter of 4 1/2"), two (2) coffee cups and saucers (diameter 4"), one (1) 3 1/2" round cup, one (1) 3" x 3" round cup, one (1) 2 1/2" x 3" drinking glass, one (1) mini cognac glass, two (2) 2" x 4 1/2" shot glasses, three (3) drinking glasses, one (1) 3" x 5" wine glass, two (2) 4 1/2" x 8 3/4" silver dishes. The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship. -

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. -

Queens Quay Street Names
QUEENS QUAY DESIGN CODES ANNEX 2: STREET NAMING 07 September 2020 anderson bell + christie Queens Quay: Design Codes 69 Queens Quay Design Codes – Annexe 2: Street Naming Strategy and Proposed Street Names This consultation document includes the Street Naming Strategy for Queens Quay and the suggested list of street names that have emerged from the Strategy, based on the heritage and stories of the site and local area. These were approved for consultation by the Planning Committee on 19th August 2020. Street Naming Strategy 1. Purpose This annexe seeks to set out the principles to be adopted by West Dunbartonshire Council in applying a clear, contextualised and scalable street naming strategy to the Queens Quay site in Clydebank. In line with established good practice, all street names will seek to reference the heritage of the site and surrounding area, layering narratives that will enable the new residents and its visitors to build an engaged and evolving relationship with the town and locality. The street naming approach actively seeks to contribute positively to an overarching sense of place and identity within Clydebank and West Dunbartonshire. 2. Heritage context Although the immediate heritage context for the Queens Quay site is the redevelopment of John Brown’s shipyard, it is notable that the very existence of the shipyard relied on the pre-existing contours of an enduring landscape. While the confluence of the Rivers Clyde and Cart made it possible to launch ships that travelled around the globe, to the north of the town the Kilpatrick Hills are a reminder in their archaeology that this land was settled for reasons of travel and trade long before the arrival of the shipyard. -
