I plan horse racing posts, too. But this one is snow sporty.

This winter I will post my vintage snow sports favorites.

Luxury Liner Row, New York, October 1939.
Seen here (L-R) are the SS Normandie, now a war refugee, the RMS Queen Mary, in troopship colors, and WWI veteran RMS Aquitania, also ready for action. The following Spring, QM’s sister ship Queen Elizabeth joined in, and for two weeks, the three largest liners in the world were moored side by side.

Casually bringing back an old favorite.
Here’s 2 other views(the other French line ship is the Ile De France)
What I always liked about these pictures is the Aquitania was only marginally larger than the Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic in length and beam(although the Titanic, Britannic and the Olympic post 1913, were both larger in gross tonnage), so it gives a good impression on what either 3 of them would look like next to the Queen or Normandie.
Reblogging for the extra pics.
