QUEEN MARY menu from before maiden voyage

menu

A menu for a luncheon aboard the QUEEN MARY a week before its maiden voyage. The QUEEN MARY was a symbol of British pride well before its first voyage to New York, and some 15,000 people toured and visited the ship in the week before its maiden voyage. The press around the world on this date was reporting about the ship's features and who would be aboard for its first voyage, and the Birmingham Gazette gushed that the many people being entertained on board in this week before the voyage would be testing out its services. Guests at this luncheon aboard ship in Southampton were treated to multiple courses including Scottish salmon, grenadins of veal, and grilled spring chicken with bacon.
