They have been rediscovered ahead of the completion of Cunard's new Queen Anne ship
A Liverpool "treasure trove" that holds "priceless" Cunard artefacts and records have been shared with world-renowned designers working on the new ship Queen Anne.
The public event will mark the first naming of a Cunard Queen on the Mersey in the company’s 184-year history, as Queen Anne becomes the 249th Cunarder. Artefacts and records, stored in Cunard’s archive, chart the history of the most famous name in passenger shipping. "Queen Anne is the next in a fine line for Cunard and she will be bursting with breath- taking moments around every corner; all of which contain subtle references to our history."
Queen Anne’s breath-taking interiors take inspiration from Cunard’s past, celebrating the beautiful art deco style finishes that the brand is known for. Designers from David Collins Studio, whose portfolios include luxury hotels, bars, restaurants, high end yachts, and private grand residences, were among the first to start their task with a trip to Liverpool.
"The brief for the project was to create a ship for the future. I think we have achieved this with a design that is timeless and sophisticated, that won’t date and yet is adaptable for the future. Our designs feature carefully curated architectural details that reference Cunard’s heritage and the Golden Age of Liner Travel.
