lovetosew Posted August 16, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2021 My Mother sailed the original Queen in 1930 to England and I treasure a small red carved wood box she won in a bridge game on that ship. It fascinated me as a child and I still have it; although I have never sailed Cunard. Anyone have treasures of old Cunard cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted August 16, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Are you sure she sailed on the RMS Queen Mary in 1930? I believe she was not launched until 1936…EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetosew Posted August 17, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Perhaps you are correct. She was not married until 1941 and often mentioned the group that she travelled with during that time frame. Thank-you for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted August 18, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Interesting topic, @lovetosew. I was hoping to have heard of some others' old Cunard treasures by now. I remember my sister had a felt pennant of RMS Queen Elizabeth we bought from a vendor at the pier after we toured that Cunard liner in New York during the summer of 1961. That short visit to the original Queen Elizabeth was the only time I was ever on a Cunard ship during the 20th century and unfortunately that pennant is long gone. One ocean liner treasure I have is a small trophy I won for finishing second in a chess tournament on board the SS Nieuw Amsterdam exactly 50 years ago this month during a transatlantic crossing from Le Havre to New York in August 1971. Of course that doesn't count as a Cunard treasure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
