Title: Ships, probably 1967 [Go to resource]
Description: This tin has an illustration of the Queen Elizabeth II on the lid. Around the sides are the Queen Mary (1936), the Mauritania (1907), the Britannia (1840) and the Servia (1881). The Queen Elizabeth II was launched by her namesake on the 20 September 1967, just a few days after Cunard's other great liner, the Queen Mary, made her last transatlantic crossing to New York. It seems very like that this tin was issued to commemorate the event.
