The Big Apple. The Gateway to the West. The City that Never Sleeps. What is there to say about New York that hasn't already been said? It's the city that everyone's heard of, the streets that everyone's seen on the big screen. And along with the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty is New York's most famous symbol. Cast in copper in 1886, it celebrated the Declaration of Independence and the abolition of slavery, and quickly became a symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving in America by sea.
This design shows the Statue of Liberty holding her torch high, shining a light through the cloudy night sky. In the foreground is the RMS Queen Mary, a British Ocean Liner that sailed passengers between England and New York from 1936 to 1967. Apart from a brief stint as a troopship during the Second World War, the Queen Mary was a regular sight in New York Harbour - over thirty years of sailing, the ship crossed the Atlantic a whopping 1000 times. So whether you're a New Yorker or a maritime-enthusiast, this stunning tea towel is just the thing for you!
