In 2015 Cunard celebrate their 175th anniversary. Its heritage
dates back to 1839 where Sir Samuel Cunard won the first British
Government contract to supply a regular mail service across the
North Atlantic. Since that date Cunard has had hundreds of ocean
liners. Cunard's golden age occurred after the Second World War
when the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth entered full commercial
service. In the late Fifties Cunard faced the most fierce
competitor, the Boeing 707 on the Transatlantic routes. This saw a
great decline in the Cunard fleet but amidst the jet revolution
Cunard gambled with their future on a new ship, the QE2. With the
expanding cruise market in the late Nineties, the company was to
see further new-builds, including the QM2. This anniversary book
brings together the full story of Cunard and not only follows the
history of the company but also many of the celebrities and film
stars who have been associated with Cunard.
