With the digital age threatening to wipe out precious memories, Cunard has decided to create an exhibition of holiday snaps curated by photographer Mary McCartney to mark 185 years of ocean travel.
Research shows 295billion images are taken every year across the UK and the US, with only three per cent of people storing their pictures in physical albums. Only half of adults are confident their digital photos will be accessible in 50 years’ time.
To remedy this, Cunard is inviting guests, employees and celebrities to share their unforgettable images from on board its ships in a Sea Of Glamour exhibition, set to debut at Liverpool’s Liver Building in May. The display will also feature photos of Hollywood icons, musicians, politicians and royalty from Cunard archives.
Cunard president Katie McAlister said: ‘For 185 years, our ships have been at the heart of unforgettable moments for millions of guests and crew. This is a chance to celebrate those memories and the stories they tell. By sharing your experiences, you’ll help Mary McCartney create something truly unique – an exhibition that brings Cunard’s incredible history to life for everyone to enjoy.’
