MP119 - Cunard R.M.S. “Caronia” London. c. 1963. Colored. 14X24 (image size). Lithograph from a painting by Charles E. Turner (1883-1965), a well-known marine painter whose work is included in the collection of the National Maritime Museum. The “Caronia” was built by the John Brown & Co Ltd. shipyard on the River Clyde in Scotland where she was launched in 1947and set out on her maiden voyage in January 1949. She was built as a luxurious cruise ship and painted in distinctive colors of green which was the reason she earned the nickname of “The Green Goddess.” Most of her life with the Cunard Line was spent cruising the world, until Cunard sold her in 1968 to Star Shipping who renamed her “Caribia” after which she was sold again until she was finally sold for scrap in 1974. A fine ship portrait by a famous marine artist. | $125 |
 |
MP120 - Cunard “R.M.S. Queen Elizabeth.” London. c. 1963. Colored. 14X24½. Lithograph from a painting by Charles E. Turner (1883-1965.) a well-known painter of maritime subjects, 8 of which are in the collection of the National Maritime Museum. The first “Queen Elizabeth” was built at the shipyard of John Brown & Company on the River Clyde in Scotland, and launched in 1938. In 1940 at the start of the war in Europe, she was sent to New York for safety and for fitting out. However, after 8 months she was ordered to Singapore to be fitted as a troopship. She survived the war and in 1946 she was refitted in Southampton as a passenger ship and made her first transatlantic crossing in the commercial trade at the end of that year. She lasted as a transatlantic liner until 1968, when Cunard decided that her upkeep and repairs were too costly to keep her going so they withdrew her from service, while they built the new QE2, and she was scrapped in 1974.This is a fine ship portrait of an historic ocean liner. | $125 |
 |
MP121 - Cunard “The New Saxonia.” 22,000 tons. London. c. 1963. Colored. 14X24½. Lithograph from a painting by Charles E. Turner (1883-1965.) a well-known marine painter whose works are included in the collections of the National Maritime Museum. The “New Saxonia” was built by John Brown and Company Ltd on the Clydebank, in Scotland and launched on February 17, 1954 by Lady Churchill. She made her maiden voyage from Liverpool to Montreal in September of that year and stayed in the England to Canada trade until 1961 when Cunard transferred her to the Liverpool to New York trade for a brief period, before they refitted her as a cruise ship and changed her name to “Carmania.” Starting in 1962, she made frequent cruises from Florida to the Caribbean and in 1969 she ran aground on a sandbank in the West Indies. Needing major repairs and refitting Cunard put her up for sale in Southampton in 1972 and sold her to Russian interests. She was scrapped in 1999. This is a colorful ship portrait by a master marine painter. | $125 |
