This striking aerial view shows the British ocean liner RMS Queen Mary entering New York Harbor on August 5, 1947, making her first Atlantic crossing as a postwar luxury liner after being converted back from wartime troopship service. The famed 81,273-ton Cunard liner had been completely reconditioned following World War II. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
