BRIEF HISTORY
By all measures
HMS Queen Mary was truly "Titanic." Bigger, faster and more
powerful than her predecessor the Titanic, Queen Mary lived
a long life that included 1,001 successful Atlantic
crossings. Built at the John Brown shipyard on the Clyde,
Scotland, in 1937, the Queen Mary held the record for the
fastest-ever North Atlantic crossing, and for three years
she carried the rich and famous across the Atlantic in great
luxury.
Now Queen Mary rests in the Long Beach harbor, converted
into a hotel and tourist attraction. |
