Janette McCutcheon was born in Scotland, and lived close to Clydebank, home of some of the most famous ships ever constructed, including three of Cunard's famous Queens. She has written seven books on maritime history and regularly sails the seven seas lecturing aboard cruise ships. She has appeared on BBC's The Scots at Sea and acted as consultant to Channel 4's Speed Machinesand various Discovery Channel programmes on ocean liners. Janette has one of the largest collections of Cunard and White Star memorabilia in the UK, including postcards, photos, posters and items from on board White Star and Cunard ocean liners.
The illustrated history of the most famous existing ocean liner from the 1930s. RMS Queen Mary: Transatlantic Masterpiece tells the story of the Cunard liner from her design in the late 1920s, to the construction and the problems caused by the Depression. The artwork on board is detailed as is her history during the war years, where it was said she and her sister RMS Queen Elizabeth, helped shorten the war by a year while working as troop transports. No other moving object has carried as many people in one voyage (over 16,000).
