Infographic of the RMS "Queen Mary" When it was the Cunnard "534" (1932)

The fine infographic below displays the size and might of the Cunnard line's newest ship, "534", which would be christened the RMS Queen Mary two years from when this image was published (in Popular Mechanics, January 1932).  It was a beast, a thousand feet long with a crew of a thousand, it shuttled 2,100 passengers across the Atlantic for 33 years, and for a number of those years held the record for the quickest crossing.  I particularly like it standing next to the newly-completed Empire State building.
