About the Item
This elegant original poster, created circa 1940 by renowned maritime artist Charles Edward Turner, showcases the iconic R.M.S. Caronia, one of the most celebrated ocean liners of the mid-20th century. Commissioned by the Cunard Line, the image features the sleek, pale green-hulled vessel cutting gracefully through the Atlantic, with a calm sea and sky forming the perfect backdrop for her commanding presence.
The Caronia, launched in 1947 by John Brown & Co. of Clydebank, Scotland, was a groundbreaking ship for Cunard. Nicknamed the “Green Goddess,” she was built for both transatlantic crossings and luxury world cruises, offering unmatched comfort and service. Her distinctive color scheme — soft green hull with a red and black funnel — set her apart from the traditional Cunard fleet and marked a new era in ocean travel.
Charles Edward Turner, known for his detailed and romanticized depictions of ships, captures Caronia with striking realism and elegance. His use of light and movement brings the vessel to life, emphasizing her length, symmetry, and maritime power. Posters like this were used by Cunard to advertise the liner’s voyages, adorning travel offices and shipping agencies to inspire dreams of global exploration.
Today, this poster stands as both a collectible artwork and a testament to the golden age of luxury liners, when crossing the Atlantic was as much an experience as a means of travel.
