Three ships carry the 1930s in this directory, and one of them carries the whole decade. Queen Mary, launched in 1934 for Cunard's Southampton–New York service, was Britain's first 1,000-foot liner, a Depression-era project rescued by government finance, a record-breaking greyhound, a wartime troopship, and since 1967 a preserved hotel and museum at Long Beach, California. She is the last surviving great liner of the 1930s, and at 80,774 gross tons she dwarfs her decade-mates here. The others show the decade's range: Sea Cloud of 1931, built as a private sailing yacht and still active under sail as a cruise ship, and Moonta of 1931, preserved after a career that began in Australian coastal service. Speed, sail and coastal work — the 1930s, in three hulls.
