My Grandpa had a tugboat business. 3 of his tugboats helped dock the Queen Mary in dry dock. I have a picture somewhere, it's so cool! It's a beautiful ship.

I'd sooner sail on the Queen Mary 2 rather than some of those 'rusting white hulks' that are so called 'cruise liners'

Queen Mary 2 is the only ship resembling such elegance today: Queen Elizabeth 3 and the Queen Victoria look hedious!!!

The QM was outdated when designed and built. Normandie was FAR superior - even in looks. Normandie was powered by electric motors, more streamlined. Far faster hull. It was far cheaper to run than QM. QM even looked old fashioned on commission. The Normandie designer approached Cunard with his design but they were still in the 1800s, so built the QM.
White Star started the superior than QM Oceanic. When merging WS & Cunard, it was dropped & QM taken up as she progressed more in construction

She was, and still is, a magnificent ship as was her sister, Queen Elizabeth. I'd prefer to see these ships sailing today rather than the "boxes afloat" they have cruising around.

RMS Queen Mary is the most Graceful Liner I've ever seen in person. God, She beautiful.

Figure out how it would be if the RMS Olympic was bought by a rich human who had a ton of money..

She's not in that bad of shape. She does need a paint job on the hull but the funnels received a fresh coat of 'Cunard Red' paint late last year. She was in pretty bad shape when Long Beach purchased her from cash-strapped Cunard in 1967.

Scared the crap out of me. This was in 1971.

The Titanic and Queen Mary are in a sense, "distant cousins". The Queen Mary was built 24 years after Titanic for the newly merged Cunard-White Star Line (White Star Line owned Titanic) and was considerably larger and faster than Titanic.
