RMS Queen Mary

The construction and nomenclature
With the launch of Bremen in Germany and Europe in the service, the British did not want to be less in the race for shipbuilding. White Star Line began construction on its 60,000 tonnes in 1928 from the ocean, while in a ship of 75,000 tons Cunard own nameless.
The construction of the vessel, known only as "Number 534 of the Town", started in December 1930 on the River Clyde in the John Brown & Company Shipbuilding and Engineering shipyard at Clydebank Scotland. The work was interrupted in December due to the great depression of 1931 and requested the Government Cunard British for a loan to complete 534. The loan was provided, with enough money to fill the Queen Mary and build a running mate Hull No. 552 would become Queen Elizabeth. A condition of the loan was that Cunard would merge with the White Star Line, which is the main rival Cunard UK time and now were forced by the crisis to cancel the construction of the Ocean. Both lines of the merger agreement and be completed in April 1934. Work on the Queen Mary resumed immediately and she was launched September 26, 1934. Completion eventually took three years and cost three million pounds in total. Much of the interior of the spacecraft was designed and constructed by the Bromsgrove Guild.
The ship was named after Queen Mary, wife of King George V. To launch the name she was given was to be kept a closely guarded secret. Legend has it that Cunard by the name of the ship "Victoria" According to the tradition of the company to give its ships names ending in "other things. "However, when company representatives asked the king's permission for the name of the line's largest ocean after Britain" Queen ", he told his wife, Queen Mary, would be delighted. And yes, the legend, the delegation, of course, another option to declare the N º 534 RMS Queen Mary is called. This story was denied by business leaders, and traditionally the names of the rulers have been used only for capital ships of the Royal Navy. Some support for the story was provided by the Washington Post editor Felix Morley who sailed as guest of Cunard Line's maiden voyage in 1936, Queen Mary. In his autobiography, 1979, note, Morley wrote that at table with Sir Percy Bates, chairman of the Cunard Line. Bates told the story of the appointment of ship "provided that it does print in my life." The name of Mary, the Queen also could be decided as a compromise between Cunard and White Star Line, Cunard, which has recently merged the two lines have a tradition of using names or ending in "ic" with White Star and "other things" Cunard.

The design of the Queen Mary has been criticized for being too traditional, especially when the hull of the Normandie was revolutionary with a lawn mower in an arc streamlined. Except for the cruise back, seemed to be simply an expanded version of their predecessors before Cunard World War I era. Its interior decoration, while most Art Deco style, it still seemed sober and cautious attitude towards the French line art generation. However, the Queen Mary ship has proved popular as his great rival, in terms of passengers carried.

WWII
Arriving at the Port of New York, June 20, 1945, with thousands of American soldiers.
In late August 1939, the Queen Mary has been a rebound in New York to Southampton. The international situation has led to its escorted by the cruiser HMS Hood.

In 1940, Queen Mary and Normandy have joined New York by the new Queen Mary Queen Elizabeth's partner, newcomer Flight secret of his desk Clydebank. The three largest ships in the world to stand for some time until the Allied commanders decided that the three ships could be used as a troop transport (unfortunately, Normandy is destroyed by fire during the conversion of troops). The Queen Mary has left New York to Sydney, where, with Several ships of the line, became a troop transport carrying troops from Australia and New Zealand the United Kingdom. In the conversion, its hull, superstructure and funnels were painted navy gray. Inside, the furniture and decoration booths have been removed and replaced by three levels of stacking wood (which was replaced later by standee bunks). Six miles of carpet, 220 cases china, crystal and silver, tapestries and paintings were collected and stored in tanks for the duration of war. The woodwork in the cabin, first class dining and other public places have been covered with leather. Finally, have joined forces in the service of Queen Elizabeth, the two ships were the largest and fastest troops involved in the war, often with less than 15,000 men on a journey, and often moving from one column and without escort. Its high speed meant it was difficult for boats to catch U.
On October 2, 1942, Queen Mary accidentally sank one its leaders, the division the light cruiser Curacao off the coast of Ireland with the loss of 338 lives. Due to the constant threat of being attacked by submarines, aboard the Queen Mary Captain C. Gordon Illingworth had strict instructions not to leave for any reason, the destroyers of the Royal Navy in Support of the Queen has bidden to the orientation and not to rescue survivors.

An account of this crossing is on the book Walter Ford Carter, without much sacrifice, no greater love. Carter, his father, Dr. Norval Carter, part of the 110 on board the Station Hospital at the time, wrote that at one point the Queen Mary "damned near capsized … A moment of the top cover is its height and then swoom! Down, above and before landing. "It has been calculated after the ship tilted 52 degrees, and rolled over to have if you had rolled another 3 degrees. The incident inspired Paul Gallico to write his story, The Poseidon Adventure, which later became a movie of the same name, using Queen Mary as a substitute for the SS Poseidon.
During war, the Queen Mary carried Prime Minister Winston Churchill across the Atlantic for meetings with representatives of Allied colleagues on several occasions, would be displayed on the passenger list as "Colonel Warden" and insisted that the lifeboat committed to be equipped with a machine gun to 0.303 "Resist capture at all costs."
After the Second World War
The Queen Mary in Southampton, June 1956
Since September 1946 the queen Mary July 1947, was again the service of passengers, adding air conditioning and improving the settings for 711 beds in first class, cabin class 707 577 passengers in economy class. After refurbishing, the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth dominated the transatlantic passenger trade, as ships of Cunard White Star both Weekend Service expressed through the second half of the 1940s and the 1950s. They have proved very profitable for Cunard. However, 1958 the first transatlantic flight Start a jet of a whole new era of competition for the Cunard Queens. On some trips, especially in winter, The Queen Mary sailed into the port with more crew than passengers. (But she and her sister Queen Elizabeth has an average of more than 1,000 passengers step in mid-1960.) In 1965, the entire Cunard fleet was leaving a trail red ink. Hoping to continue to fund the rest of the construction Queen Elizabeth 2, Cunard mortgaged most of the fleet. Finally, under a combination age, lack of interest in public inefficiency into a new market and deteriorating effects of the strike after the national seafarers, Cunard announced that both Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth will be removed from service (service leave Elizabeth, a year later) and had to be sold. There were many offers, but it was Long Beach, California, who defeated Japanese scrap. Thus, the Queen Mary was retired in 1967, while his running mate in Queen Elizabeth was retired in 1968. RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 has had on the transatlantic route in 1969.
The Queen Mary in Long Beach

After his retirement in 1967, she departed Long Beach, California, where it is permanently moored as a tourist attraction. From 1983 to 1993, the Queen Mary was accompanied by Howard Hughes Spruce Goose, which was located near a large dome (the dome is now used by Carnival Cruise Lines as a ship terminal, and previously as a study sound).
Since oil extraction began in Long Beach Harbor, part of the revenue had been set aside in the Fund Tidelands Oil. " Some of these funds were allocated in 1958 for future purchase of a maritime museum in Long Beach.
Conversion
When the Queen Mary was purchased by Long Beach, decided to the ship will host flagship for conservation as a lining. It was decided to allow almost all areas of the boat under the bridge C (called from a bridge 1950 to reduce confusion for passengers of all the restaurants were in "R" deck) to make room for the museum. This would increase the space Museum and 400,000 square meters. It took the removal of all parts of the boiler, the engine room forward both Houses of the turbo, the stabilizers ship and the water softening plants. Now the ship is empty fuel tanks is then filled with mud room to keep the boat and the proposed level of CG suitable, given that these factors were critical hit by the abolition of all components and structure. shaft alley just the engine room Stern and "at the stern of the ship, be spared the cutting torch. The remaining space will be used for storage or office space. All the problems that arise conversion has been a dispute between the land and maritime unions in the conversion of employment. The U.S. Coast Guard had the last word has been Queen Mary seen as a building, as most of its engines were removed and emptied his machine. The ship also been painted with water level a little more red higher than its old. Upon conversion of the chimneys have been removed as it is the only practical way to eliminate waste materials from the engine and boiler, subsiquently was found that the chimney is organized in collaboration with over thirty layers of paint and should be replaced by new replicas.
A passage from the first housing first class, now part of the hotel on board
With all the lower decks of almost emptied from the bridge and R down, Diner's Club, the original tenant spacecraft, making the rest of the ship into a hotel. Diner's Club Queen Mary dissolved and left the ship in 1970, after its parent company, Diners Club International has been sold and a change in management has been to mandate the center of the conversion process. Specialty of the house, a company based in Los Angeles that focuses on the topic of restaurants in operation, will take over as the original tenant the following year.

The promenade deck, the starboard promenade deck is attached to the role of a gourmet restaurant and a cafe called Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton as a theme early sailing ships of the 19th century. Famous Observation and elegant bar has been refurbished, a Western-themed bar.
The Queen Mary's Bridge, now open to visitors
The small rooms, as first-class public in the lounge, library, conference room and music studio would be stripped of most of your links and translated in the space retail, strongly expand the retail presence on the boat. Two shopping centers are built on the terrace of the various areas previously used for booths first and the fourth class engineer.

The first-class lounge and the House have been reconfigured and transformed into a banquet space, while the second class smoking room is divided into a wedding chapel and office space. The Sun Deck Grill is the stylish terrace gutted and transformed into a fast food restaurant, the new upscale restaurants to be created directly above the bridge over the sport in the space once used for crew quarters. Classrooms second would extend the ship's side and is used for banquets. In the Bridge, R, the first class dining room has been reconfigured and is divided into two banquet rooms, the Royal Hall and the Windsor Hall. The dining room of the second class would be divided in stock kitchen and dining room of the crew, while the third class dining in a first stage is used as storage and crew. Also on deck complex A first class Turkish bath, the equivalent of a spa in 1930, would be deleted. The second pool class would be deleted and its space originally used for offices, while the first class pool would be used for hotel guests. In combination with modern safety codes, and the structural integrity of the area just below, the pool is no longer in use.
N cabin crew will remain intact on the ship today. Now she works as a hotel, museum, attraction, and the site for events, but financial results have been mixed.
