The last remaining turbine steamer Queen Mary (Built 1933) leaves London under tow by tugs Aicirtron, Unico and Horton. She leaves London for La Rochelle in France where she will undergo a 17 month conversion into a a floating hotel, yet still keeping her classic lines.

I didn't know about another Queen Mary in London. I've been several times to the "real" Queen Mary in Long Beach. Anyway nice video! Thanks for sharing.

I was last on her when ( and got told off for poking my fingers in the scuppers. About 1977 I remember her arriving @ Largs. So quiet & smooth. But my parents didn't fancy the weather so we didn't sail. That was her last year.
