Gilbert Bayes (1872-1953) was a leading figure in the New Sculpture Movement prior to the First World War, who turned his talents to many subjects. The ship was launched by Queen Mary on 26 September 1934, as the obverse legend MARIA REGINA MARI ME COMMISIT states – Queen Mary committed me to the sea. Her maiden voyage was almost a year to the day after that of the SS Normandie.
