never been associated with any cruise or shipping companies or travel/cruise
agencies or any other organisations! The author commenced working in the
Passenger Shipping Industry back in 1960 but is now very much retired and I
hope that the well over 625 articles on classic liners and cruise ships that I
have written will continue to inform and also bring much joy to ship
enthusiasts for many more years to come!

A
fine painting of the Dominion Monarch by
On Page Two of the QSMV Dominion Monarch feature you will have seen a
host of fine photographs, which came from a 63 page booklet I received from Jo
Garrett, who’s Father Mr. Eddy Garret worked for over thirty years at the
famed Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson shipyards and he was involved in the
building of this great liner as well as many other ships. The images presented
below originate from this commemorative booklet that was released and
distributed amongst the staff and workers at the yard alone on the occasion of
her maiden voyage on February 17, 1939. In the rear of this booklet were two
fold away plans of the ship, although there were in a semi torn condition,
however, scanning them with care and using Photoshop, they have come up well as
a whole, and you will now gain an overall view of this great liner - Enjoy!
