175 Years of Great Ocean Liners
One of their ships came to the rescue when the Titanic was sinking, and Charles Dickens described one of their cabins as a ‘profoundly preposterous box’.
Cunard Line celebrates 175 years of sailing the seas this year and has opened its archives to reveal the magical glamour of life on board over the decades.
Since being launched by Samuel Cunard in 1840, the fleet has welcomed the most illustrious members of society on board, and has a guest book which includes everyone from Queen Elizabeth II to Liz Taylor to Beyonce.
