RMS Queen Mary 1st Voyage illustrated cover with Southampton CDS postmark 27/5/1936, the maiden voyage date PLUS 1936 postcard of the liner, with hand written message postmarked Portsmouth 11/3/1936. Envelope a little scruffy but rare. The RMS Queen Mary began her maiden voyage on May 27, 1936, sailing from Southampton to New York. Directed by Captain Duncan Cameron, the 80,700-ton vessel began its journey amidst huge crowds, despite a minor mishap where its stern grazed at Beardmore Bend. The voyage showcased its art deco luxury but experienced intense rolling. Good condition Est.
