AN ORIGINAL NAMING CEREMONY/LAUNCH BOOKLET FOR THE RMS QUEEN ELIZABETH FROM 1938
A real treat of a find and not many of these around and is an original naming ceremony/launch booklet for the RMS Queen Elizabeth from 1938. It is in a good to fair condition and such a fantasic booklet from one of the most famous vessels of our time.
[RMS Queen Elizabeth was an ocean liner operated by the Cunard Line and was contracted to carry Royal Mail as the second half of a two-ship weekly express service between Southampton and New York City via Cherbourg. At the time of construction in the mid-1930's by John Brown and Company in Clydebank, Scotland, she was known as Hull 552, but she was later named in honour of Queen Elizabeth, Queen Consort at the time of her launch on 27 September 1938, and in 1952 became the Queen Mother.]
