Queen Mary 2 Maritime QuestThe Maritime QuestThe largest permanent floating exhibition is here aboard the grandest ocean liner ever built, Queen Mary 2. The MaritimeQuest has been designed by The Open Agency and is a dynamic celebration of Cunard’s rich and illustrious past. It is thefirst time Cunard have commissioned a permanent exhibition of this magnitude and this truly wonderful experience willtake passengers back through Cunard’s proud and colourful heritage and show how closely Cunard are linked to keymoments in history.The 127 graphic panels, some over 8 metres long and covering over 500 sq.metres of the ship’s public access space ignitespeople’s imaginations as history unfolds before their eyes. Did you know it was a Cunard ship that picked up survivors fromthe Titanic, or that over 3 million migrants settled in the USA having bought tickets through Cunard offices throughoutmainland Europe before emabarking on their transatlantic route to a new life?The Open Agency researched, developed and designed the Maritime Quest, which has three distinct components: graphicpanels, interactive pods and an audio tour. The vast array of panels contain stunning visual imagery, vivid headlines andcarry an enormous amount of detail to keep passengers entertained and enthralled over and over again.“The largest permanentfloating exhibitionis here aboardthe grandest ocean linerever built,Queen Mary 2.”© The Open Agency 2004

Queen Mary 2 Maritime QuestThe audio tour is a piece of theatre in its own right and is made up of about 60 spots, each around one minute in length.Each spot evokes scenarios and periods in Cunards history with narrative, humour, and first hand accounts. Having gatheredan enormous amount of content for The Maritime Quest we needed to establish which elements of the material would besuitable for interactivity – which elements could really be brought to life! Historical film footage, virtual tours, an enormouscelebrity database, puzzles and games are just some of the content that can be browsed through on the touch screen pods.“ ...covering over500sq. metres with127 panelsup to8 metres long each... ”The opening of the Maritime Quest, once Queen Mary begins her maiden voyage on 12th January 2004, will show twoand a half years of work come to fruition.

Queen Mary 2 Maritime QuestIt was whilst researching the Maritime Quest that the Open Agency discovered two fascinating elements of the CunardStory that has have led to the design, creation and publication of two new books that tap into, and add to, the heritage ofthe company:For over a century Cunard’s ocean liners have attracted superlatives to convey their size, elegance and style. As each newone was unveiled, people would describe her as ‘incomparable’ and Cunard would try to capture and illustrate thesefeelings of awe and admiration by comparing her with her predecessors and with land-based feats of art and engineering.Queen Mary 2 – Book of Comparisons follows in this tradition and traces the journey from her inception, through herimpressive design and build, to finally steal a glimpse at what it takes to run the worlds largest ocean liner. See how thesize and shape of its hull compares to a school of blue whales; which buildings are as tall as the Queen Mary 2 is long, andwhat iconic detail it shares with British Airways London Eye.Each one of the 20 comparisons is beautifully brought to life by award winning illustrator Andrew Davidson and, issupported by some of the original archived images from earlier Cunard books. The text has been compiled by researcherand author Elspeth Wills who has also been a major contributor to the Maritime Quest exhibition. The Queen Mary 2– Book of Comparisons, like its predecessors, stands as a testimony to human achievement.Stars Aboard is a collection of wonderful images brought together for the first time, many not shown in public before.They were taken on board the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth during the golden age of ocean travel in the 1930s, 40sand 50s. Elizabeth Taylor, Clarke Gable, Charlie Chaplin and Marlene Dietrich to name a few endorse the Cunard name.Both books are available through openthebook.com (where you can download sample pages), or directly fromThe Open Agency on 020 7740 7000.© The Open Agency 2004

The two Queen Marys QM Maiden Voyage042 DECK 2Academy at SeaOn May 27th 1936, the QueenMary left Southampton at 4.30pmon her maiden voyage via Cherbourgto New York, to the sound of theRoyal Marines playing ‘Rule Britannia’.More than 100 journalists plusrepresentatives of the BBC andother networks were aboard torecord their impressions. Amongthose aboard were AmbassadorJoseph P Kennedy’s wife, Rose;designer Cecil Beaton; actressesFrances Day and Anita Louise andcomposer Jules Stein.The telegraph from the bridge to the engine room rang:The steam valves did not require to be touched againuntil the Queen neared New York.The pressure mountsAs well wishers were called backashore, in the engine room,pressure and temperature gaugeswere rising: the shipside doorswere shut. In the wheelhouse, thepointer rested on ‘Slow SpeedAstern’, while the clanging of bellsindicated that the ship was now inmotion. A tug slowly guided her outof the harbour, gently manoeuvringher toward the sea.Mistakes are madeBy late afternoon the Queen Mary arrived in Cherbourg Harbourwhere a special building had been constructed to serve as the dock andport of entry to the ship. Its gangway was designed to fit precisely into theshipside door so that new passengers could simply walk aboard. Due to amiscalculation, however, it slid six feet short and a makeshift plank hadto be used to close the gap between the end of the gangway and the ship.‘You’d hear her hooter off down by the Isle of Wight… the next thing you’dsee her funnels almost standing in the High Street… very impressive.’Winifred Wilton Southampton ‘...the people of the city joined in giving her a royal welcome.She accepted the homage of lesser craft with gracious dignity,responding to the shrill salutes with her deep throated voicetwo octaves below middle A.’As reported in the New York Times RapturesThe New York welcome was farmore informal than Southamptonbut still as raptuous.

Cunard Carpathia and the TitanicTimeline of Events017 DECK 5C StairwellOn April 13th 1912, Cunard LinesCarpathia set off from New York,heading east across the Atlantictowards Gibraltar on a routinejourney to the warm climes of theMediterranean, scheduled to arriveat the British colony on April 20th.Fate, however was to deal theCarpathia a very different hand.The Titanic of the White Star Linewas at the time on its much heraldedmaiden voyage, setting off fromSouthampton on April 10th, andafter picking up in Cherbourg andQueenstown turning east headingtowards New York.The Marconi Wireless technologywas still very much in its infancy, anda real selling point to passengers, asseen here (right) in the Carpathiabrochure.

Knowing Phillips,the Titanic wireless operator,Cottam radioed him to check thathe had got the message.
