Oceanic Memories: Mary McCartney and Cunard Mark 100 Years of Photography at Sea
“I’m pleased to curate an exhibition within this treasure trove of 100 years of on board photography. I’m looking forward to exploring the archives and the crowdsourced images to hand pick a portfolio of iconic images that will reflect a century of luxury travel,” said British photographer Mary McCartney
“With over 14,000 images stored in the Cunard archives in Liverpool – the founding home port of Cunard Line – we have a wealth of memories from the 1920s to present day to choose from,” said Siân Wilks, Cunard Archivist at the University of Liverpool Library. “We are extremely excited to work alongside Mary McCartney to launch the Sea Views exhibition.”
In addition to the archived photos that will be exhibited, Cunard is calling on the guests to share any photographs they may have collected over the years when travelling on board a Cunard ship, capturing special moments, amazing views and unique experiences. All images shared will be reviewed, with selected images to be part of this rare, centennial exhibition.
“We’re extremely proud of Cunard’s 183-year history and particularly of the fact we pioneered the round-the-world voyage 100 years ago. What better way to celebrate this centenary anniversary than by curating a fantastic selection of images from our guests who’ve travelled with us. We’re delighted to be working with the wonderful Mary McCartney to create this exhibition and can’t wait to see the unforgettable moments that our guests have captured over the years,” said Matt Gleaves, VP Commercial, Cunard, North America.
To participate in Cunard's upcoming "Sea Views" exhibition, guests are encouraged to visit www.cunard.com/seaviews to submit their favorite moments captured on board a Cunard ship by February 5, 2023. The exhibition, which will celebrate Cunard's centennial and feature both archive and submitted imagery, will go live in 2023 and more information will be available closer to the event on the website.
