James Gardner was keen to place an enlarged golden figure of a lion rampant, the Cunard symbol, high up on the white funnel but found little support for the innovation so he would make sure that little golden lions rampant kept turning up on the desks of Cunard executives hoping that sooner or later they would get the idea and let him go ahead with his crowning touch.
This is interesting - the height of grandeur!
Have you managed to keep a little one?!
Then - I think there maybe /have been one with the ship's name above the 'shelter' on the Sun Deck, just aft of the Bar.. Is this the sort of Lion 'placement' he meant?
Also, one on the plaque that was (unofficially?) called the Warwick Crest under the railing of the Bit Beneath the Bridge - was this also an idea by James Gardner?
Trying hard now to think of other public places on board where lions rampant were stationed!
Was there one on the bridge? Captains quarters?
