Caption: Painter ' s big job ! .
Now that the ' Queen Mary ' is in dry dock the colossal bulk of the giant liner is shown to advantage in comparison with the small army of painters and craftsman at work on her hull , which is being scraped and painted in readiness for the tials next week .
The suit of propellers used to bring her down from Clyde are being changed for others of a corsar pitch .
Photo shows , crawling over the towering bows like a fly the painter renews the underwater marks on the Queen Mary ' s hull at Southampton .
31 March 1936
