Sorry, but what are you talking about?

I can remember watching the launch from a field across the river from John Brown's - I must have been about six years old. I also had a "99" ice cream for the first time!

[ZacWhit]

Oh wow!

Well done. This video is fantastic. This arrangement of Rule Britannia fits perfectly. What a beautiful and majestic ship. What a treat it must have been to be there watching this unfold. I was moved while viewing this clip. Thank you.

great video of my favourite liner, toured her in 1974. I hope she is preserved forever, she is a reminder of a grander time.

Thrilling to see the birth of RMS Queen Mary

@NearAbbeyRoad Indeed! The million dollar convoy; of seven liners, of which the empress of britain (built again in john brown's yard) captained by a distant relative of mine cpt Sapsworth, was sunk off ireland. But the queens became legendary particulary with the americans

@mzbikes

All top liners of all nations could outrun U-Boats.

@NearAbbeyRoad

Ah but the queen mary ran the uboat gauntlet

It's not just her looks that makes her famous . There's her CV

Ask any GI

chairman of cunard said "you are not going to launch the biggest ship in the world into that trout stream."

They like a challenge on clydeside!!! was the answer

The Titanic was not black and red.

I have been on the QM in Long Beach. She is not that attractive a ship. The French Normandie was far superior in every aspect, especially in looks. Technically Normandie was way ahead. QM was old technology when designed.

[NearAbbeyRoad]

That river is like a stream. How did they build such a large ship in such a narrow river? Madness!

[MrLochanOra]

Excellent video. This is her real home. This is where she should be. The Clyde, not California.

my gran watched the queen Mary come down river at Port Glasgow during the war when she was used as a troop ship, painted all in grey, my gran says "she was awesome, came out of nowhere and dissappered into the mist" how amazing!! get her back home what i say and the QE2 aswell!
