Capt. Darline said that he did not know whether the Queen Mary would be a business success, He did not think that profit-making was upper-most in the minds of the → British when they built her.

"The building of the Queen Mary was a question of prestige," he said, "Britain, with the reputation of bes ing the leading seafaring nation and of having the greatest merchant marine in the world, was running old ships on the Atlantic. The Homeric. Mauretania, Majestic. Aquitania, Berengaria-a Wete past their prime, at Britain had to have a new super-ship.
