RMS Queen Mary

Construction and names
With the launch of Bremen in Germany and Europe in service, the British did not want to be left out in the race shipbuilding. White Star Line began construction of the Oceanic 60,000 tons in 1928, while a Cunard ship 75,000 tons provided no proper name.
The construction of the vessel, known as "Hull Number 534", began in December 1930 on the River Clyde in the John Brown and shipbuilding yards and engineering company Clydebank Scotland. The work was interrupted in December 1931 by the Great Depression and Cunard applied to the British Government for loan to complete 534. The loan was granted, with enough money to complete the Queen Mary and the construction of a running mate, Hull No. 552 that would become the Queen Elizabeth. One of the conditions of the loan was that Cunard would merge with the White Star Line, which was its main rival in the British Cunard time and had already been forced by the Depression to cancel the construction of the Ocean. Both lines of agreement and the merger was completed in April 1934. Work on the Queen Mary resumed immediately and she launched the September 26, 1934. Completion ultimately took 3 years and cost 3 million pounds pounds in total. Much of the interior of the spacecraft was designed and constructed by the Bromsgrove Guild.
The ship is named after Queen Mary, consort of King George V. To launch the name would be given was a closely guarded secret. Legend has it that Cunard intended to name the ship "Victoria", according to tradition company to give their names of the ships that end in "ia". However, when company representatives asked the King to leave the name of the transatlantic largest after Britain, "Queen," said his wife, Queen Mary, would be delighted. And so the legend, the delegation, of course, choice but to report that No. 534 is called RMS Queen Mary. This story was denied by company officials and traditional rulers names only been used for ships of the Royal Navy. Some support for the story was provided by Washington, the post editor Felix Morley, who sailed as a guest of Cunard Line in 1936 the maiden voyage of Queen Mary. In his autobiography, 1979, for the record, Morley wrote that was put on the table with Sir Percy Bates, chairman of the Cunard Line. Bates told the story of the name of the ship "provided the impression that all my life." The name of the Queen Mary was also able to have been determined as a compromise between Cunard and White Star Line, with which Cunard had recently merged, both lines had a tradition of using names or ending in "ic" with the White Star and "other things" with Cunard.
History (1934-1939)
Queen Mary 1936
There was already a steam turbine Clyde called Queen Mary, so Cunard White Star reached an agreement with the current owners that the vapor would be renamed TS Queen Mary II, and in 1934 the liner new was launched by Queen Mary and RMS Queen Mary. On his way through the stands, the Queen Mary was slowed by drag chains eighteen, to review progress plotter lines in the Clyde, part of which had been expanded to accommodate the launch.
When you set sail on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England May 27 1936, was commanded by Sir Edgar T. Britten, who had been the main proposal for the Cunard White Star as the ship was under construction at the shipyard John Brown. The Queen Mary had a gross tonnage (GT) of 80,774 tonnes, its rival, the Normandie, which originally won a total of 79,280 tons, had been modified by last winter to increase its size to 83 243 GT (closed tourist lounge was built on the boat deck aft of the court area where the game was), and therefore holds the title of the largest ocean shirt. The Queen Mary left at high speed for most of his first trip to New York, to the dense fog forced a reduction of speed on the final day of the voyage.
The observation bar. The windows were once part of the delivery closed rides the ship, the lounge was extended forward after 1967.
The design of the Queen Mary was criticized for being too traditional, especially when the helmet Normandie was revolutionary with a clipper bow-shaped, streamlined. With the exception of the cruise at the stern, seemed to be simply an expanded version of its predecessors Cunard in the pre World War I was. Interior design, while mostly Art Deco style, still seemed restrained and conservative, compared with French avant-garde liner. However, the Queen Mary was the most popular ship your biggest rival in terms of passengers carried.
In August 1936, Queen Mary captured the blue ribbon of Normandy, with an average speed of 30.14 knots (55.82 km / h) knots in the west to the east and 30.63. Normandy was remodeled with a new set of propellers in 1937 and regained the honor, but in 1938 the Queen Mary took the blue ribbon in both directions with an average of one speed of 30.99 knots (57.39 km / h) westbound and 31.69 knots eastbound, the records to be maintained until the United States lost the SS in 1952.
Interior

services on board the Queen Mary varied class, with First Class passengers given the most space and luxury. Among the services available on board the Queen Mary liner pool appears cover, lounge, library vessel, nursery, outdoor paddle tennis court and ship cage. The largest room was the first class dining room (great room) that spanned three stories high and was led by columns wide. The cover pool facilities also spread over two decks high.
The classroom restaurant first one shows a large map of the Middle Passage, double side, symbolizing the winter / spring road (further south to avoid icebergs) and summer / autumn route. At each intersection, a model of the Queen Mary motor indicating the progress of the boat en route.
The first class dining at Queen Mary, also known as the Great Hall.
As an alternative to the classroom of first class restaurants, the Queen Mary included a separate terrace grill on the Sun Deck at the top aft of the ship. The grill terrace was an exclusive à la carte restaurant with a passenger capacity of about eighty years, and became in the Starlight Club night. Irish writer and broadcaster, Brian Cleeve spent several months as a bartender put on board in 1938, after he escaped from school. Also on board was the observation bar, room Art Deco style, overlooking the wide sea.
Wood of different regions of the British Empire used in its public rooms and cabins. Accommodations were very well equipped, first class cabins to luxury cabins and modest cramped third class. Artists commissioned by Cunard 1933 for the artworks inside include Edward Wadsworth and A. Duncan Carse.
World War II
Upon arrival at the port of New York, June 20, 1945, with thousands U.S. troops.
In late August 1939, the Queen Mary was in a statement to run from New York to Southampton. The international situation led to her being escorted by the battle cruiser HMS Hood. She arrived safely, and come out for New York on 1 September. At the time he arrived, the Second World War had begun and ordered to remain in port until further notice along with the Normandie. In 1940, Queen Mary and the Normandie in New York joined by the new partner with the Queen Mary Queen Elizabeth's, fresh from his script in secret Clydebank. The three major world markets were inactive for a while until the Allied commanders decided that the three vessels that could be used as troops (unfortunately, the Normandie would be destroyed by fire during the conversion of troops). The Queen Mary left New York to Sydney, where, along with several other liners, it became one of troops to bring the soldiers of Australia and New Zealand to the UK. In the conversion, its hull, superstructure and fireplaces were painted blue gray. Inside, cabin furniture and decorations were removed and replaced with wooden bunks three floors (most would later be replaced by bunks standing passengers). Six miles of carpet, 220 cases of porcelain, glassware and silverware, tapestries and paintings collected and stored into storage for the duration of the war. The wood in the cabins, first class dining and other public areas were covered with leather. Eventually joined service quotas by Queen Elizabeth, the two ships were larger and faster troops involved in war, often with up to 15,000 men in one trip, and often travel outside the convoy and without escort. Its high speed meant it was difficult for submarines to catch them.
On October 2, 1942, Queen Mary accidentally sank one of his bodyguards, who runs the light cruiser HMS Curacao off the coast of Ireland with the loss of 338 lives. Due to the constant danger of being attacked by U-boats, on board Queen Mary Captain C. Gordon Illingworth was under strict orders not to leave for any reason, the Royal Navy destroyers accompanying the Queen were ordered stay the course and not to rescue survivors.
The front of the Queen Mary was equipped with new large windows and anti-aircraft guns seen here Long Beach.
In December 1942, the Queen Mary was carrying 16,082 U.S. troops from New York to Britain, a permanent record for most passengers each time a ship. While 700 miles from Scotland during a gale, was beaten on his side for the time a giant wave that may have reached a height of 28 meters (92 feet). The review of this crossing can be found in the book by Walter Ford Carter, no greater sacrifice, no greater love. Carter's father, Dr. Norval Carter, part of the 110th season Hospital board at the time, wrote that at one point the Queen Mary "damned sank off … At one point the top floor was at its usual height and then swoom! Below again, and later be launched. "It was estimated later that the ship tilted 52 degrees, and have turned 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, with the Queen Mary as a substitute for the SS Poseidon.
During the war, the Queen Mary carried British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, across the Atlantic to meet with fellow officials Allied forces on several occasions, which is listed on the passenger manifest as "Colonel Warden" and insisted that the lifeboat is assigned to be equipped with 0,303 machine gun in order to "resist capture at all costs."
After the Second World War
The Queen Mary in Southampton, June 1956
From September 1946 to July 1947, the Queen Mary was refurbished for passenger service, the addition of air conditioning and improving the configuration of the berth to the first Class 711 class, 707 cabin and 577 tourist class passengers. After reassembling, the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth dominated the transatlantic passenger and two Cunard White Star ship weekly express service through the second half of the 1940's and well into the 1950's. Which was very profitable for Cunard. But in 1958, the first transatlantic flight by a jet began a new era of competition from the Cunard Queens. On some trips, especially winters, Queen Mary entered port more crew than passengers. (But she and her sister Queen Elizabeth still an average of more than 1,000 passengers to cross at mid-decade 1960.) For 1965, the entire Cunard fleet was leaving a trail of red ink. Hoping to continue funding its still under construction Queen Elizabeth 2, Cunard mortgaged most of the fleet. Finally, under a combination of age, lack of public interest, a new market inefficiency, and damaging consequences of the national strike by seamen, Cunard announced that both the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth was retired from service (the service of Elizabeth would leave a year later) and were to be sold. Many offers were submitted, but it was Long Beach, California, which defeated the Japanese scrap merchants. And so the Queen Mary was retired from service in 1967, while his running mate, Queen Elizabeth retired in 1968. Two RMS Queen Elizabeth took over the transatlantic route in 1969.
The Queen Mary Long Beach
The Queen Mary in the northern part of the Port of Long Beach
After his retirement in 1967, steamed to Long Beach, California, which is permanently moored as a tourist attraction. From 1983 to 1993, the Queen Mary was accompanied by Howard Hughes 'Spruce' Goose, which was located in a large dome nearby (the dome is now used by Carnival Cruise Lines as a ship terminal, and previously as a sound studio).
Since it began drilling for oil in Long Beach Port, part of the revenue had been set aside in the "Tidelands Oil Fund." Part of this money was allocated in 1958 for the future purchase of a maritime museum in Long Beach.
Conversion
When the Queen Mary was purchased by Long Beach, decided that the boat would be an icon of hospitality and not to conserve it as an ocean liner. It was decided to delete almost all areas of the ship under cover C (I called bridge from 1950 to reduce passenger confusion all the restaurants were in "R" on the cover) to make way for the museum. This would increase the museum's space to 400,000 square meters. It requires the elimination of all boiler rooms, the forward engine room, two bedrooms turbine, ship stabilizers and water softening plant. The ship now empty fuel tanks were muddy then local to keep the center of gravity of the ship and the project at the right levels and that these critical factors were affected by removal of all the various components and structure. Only the aft engine room and the "dead shaft" in the stern of the vessel, was saved from cutting torch. The remaining space is used for storage space or office. One of the problems that arose during the conversion was a dispute between unions on land and sea based on the work of conversion. The United States Coast Guard had the last word, the Queen Mary was considered a building, and most propellers had been removed and gutted its machinery. The boat was repainted also its water level of red paint a little higher than your old. During the conversion of the funnels were removed as it was the only practical way out of scrap materials of the engine room and boiler subsiquently found The funnels were carried out, along with more than thirty layers of paint and had to be replaced by new mirror elements.
A passenger in first class accommodation, now part of the hotel on board
With all almost gutted the lower decks from the deck of R and down, Diner's Club, the original lessee of the ship, was to convert the rest of the ship in a hotel. Diner's Club Queen Mary dissolved and left the boat in 1970 after its parent, Diner's Club International was sold and a change in company management was mandated in the middle of the conversion process. Specialty restaurants, a company based in Los Angeles that focused at theme restaurants, which will take over as master lessee of the following year.
During this conversion, the plan was to convert most their booths first and second class A and B covers only hotel rooms, and convert the main dining rooms and banquet space. The Promenade deck, the starboard promenade deck is attached to the role of a fancy restaurant and a cafe called Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton of topics such as early-century sailing vessels 19. The famous and elegant refurbished Observation Bar was a western themed bar.
Queen Mary's Bridge, now open to visitors
Younger of the public rooms such as living room, library, conference room and music studio would be stripped of most of its accessories and becomes the space for less, greatly expanding business presence on the ship. Two other shopping centers were built on the sun deck in separate spaces in advance for cabins first class and the engineer's quarters.
A feature of the post-war ship, first class film, withdrew from the kitchen space for new places dining promenade deck. The first class lounge and room to be reconfigured and converted into banquet space, while the classroom secondhand smoke is subdivided into a chapel weddings and office space. On Sunday, the cover, the elegant terrace grill would be destroyed and turned into a fast food restaurant, while a new space Luxury dining can be created directly above it on the cover sports in space once used for crew accommodation. The second class rooms would be expanded the sides of the ship and used for banquets. On the cover of I, the first high class room was reconfigured and subdivided into two banquet halls, the Royal Hall and the Hall Windsor. The classroom is divided into second dining kitchen storage room and a crew of disaster, while the third room classroom initially used as storage and crew space. Also on deck A, the first Turkish bath complex class, equivalent to 1930 to a spa, would be eliminated. The pool second class would be eliminated and the space originally used for office space, while the first class swimming pool would be used for hotel guests. In combination with modern safety codes, and the structural integrity of the area directly below the pool is no longer in use.
No of crew remain intact on the ship today. She is now a hotel, museum, tourist attraction, and the rental site for events, but financial results have been contradictory.
The Queen Mary as a tourist attraction
On May 8, 1971, the Queen Mary opened its doors to tourists. Initially, only portions of the ship was open to the public as specialty restaurants had not yet opened its restaurant or hotel. As a result, the ship was only open late week. In December of that year, the Museum of Jacques Cousteau of the open sea, with only a quarter of exposures under built. Within the decade, the Cousteau Museum closed due to low ticket sales and the death of many fish found in the museum. In November the following year, the hotel opened its initial 150 rooms. Hyatt operates the hotel from 1974 until 1980, when the Jack Wrather Corporation signed a lease for 66 years with the City of Long Beach to operate throughout the building. Wrather was taken by the Walt Disney Company in 1988, Wrather owned the Disneyland Hotel, Disney had been trying to buy for 30 years, the Queen Mary was therefore an afterthought and was never marketed as a Disney property.
First class accommodation at Queen Mary, converted into a hotel room today modern curtains, bedding and amenities surrounded by original wood paneling, portholes and light fixtures.
Through the late eighties and early nineties, the Queen Mary continued to struggle financially. During the years of Disney, Disney plans to develop a theme park in the rest of the field. This theme park time opened a decade later in Japan and DisneySea, a recreated transatlantic resembles the Queen Mary in the center. Hotel Queen Mary closed in 1992, When Disney made the lease on the ship to focus on what would become Disney's California Adventure. The tourist attraction was open for two months, but at the end of 1992, the Queen Mary completely closed its doors to tourists and visitors.
In February 1993, under the leadership of President and CEO Gen. Joseph F. Prevratil, RMS Foundation, Inc began a five-year lease with the city of Long Beach to act as property agents. Later that month, the tourist attraction reopened completely, while the hotel reopened in March. In 1995 the lease was extended RMS twenty years, while the extent of the lease was reduced to only the operation of the ship itself. A new company, Puerto de la Reina Development, Inc. (QSDI) came into existence in 1995, control of property adjacent to the vessel. In 1998, the City of Long Beach extended the lease to 66 years QSDI. In 2005, QSDI sought Chapter 11 protection due to a rent credit dispute with the City. In 2006, the bankruptcy court solicited bids from parties interesting in becoming over the lease from QSDI. The minimum required opening bid was $ 41M. The operation of the ship, RMS, remained independent of bankruptcy. In the summer of 2007, contract lease the Queen Mary was sold to a group called Save the Queen "managed by Hostmark Hospitality Group, which plans to develop the land next to the Queen Mary and update, renew and restore the Queen Mary. During the time of his administration, the cabins have been updated with iPod docking stations and flat screen television, ships three funnels were repainted its original red Cunard, and the area of floating boats, boards the boat rides port was restored and painted, and as work in other parts of the ship, lifeboats were repaired and patched, and the kitchens of the vessels has been renewed with new equipment.
In late September 2009, management of the Queen Mary was taken by Delaware North Companies, which plan to continue the restoration and renovation of the ship and its property, and work to revitalize and improve one of the largest liners in the ocean of all time.
In 2004, the Queen Mary and Stargazer Productions added Tibbies Great American Cabaret space formerly occupied by the bank of the ship and the wireless telegraph room. Stargazer Productions and the Queen Mary transforms the space into a working dinner theater with stage, lights, sound and sink.
Meeting of the Queens
On February 23, 2006, the RMS Queen Mary 2, greeted his predecessor, as it made its port call at the Port of Los Angeles while on a cruise to Mexico. The event was largely covered by local media and international.
Ship Horn
The tribute itself was out with the Queen Mary blow your horn work of air in response to the Queen Mary 2 blow the combination of two new horns pointing forward and the 1932 original Queen Mary Horn (donated by the City of Long Beach) in order to stern. The Queen Mary originally had three whistles tuned to 55 Hz frequency, because it was enough lower than the loud sound that would be painful to the human ear. Modern IMO regulations specify ships horn frequencies to be in the range of 70,200 Hz for ships are more than 200 meters (660 feet) in length. Traditionally, the lowest frequency, the higher the boat. The Queen Mary 2, being 345 meters (1,130 feet) long, was given the lowest possible frequency (70 Hz) to the whistles of the Rules, in addition to the renewed 55 Hz whistle on permanent loan. 55 Hz is the lower most under "a" note found an octave above the lowest note on a piano keyboard. The Tyfon compressed air whistle can be heard in at least ten miles away.
W6RO
wireless radio room of the Queen Mary
The Queen Mary original, professionally manned wireless radio room was destroyed once the ship came to Long Beach. Instead, an amateur radio room has created a platform above the reception room of the original radio with some of the original discarded radio equipment used for display purposes. The amateur radio station with call sign W6RO ("Whisky Romeo six Oscars") relies on volunteers a local amateur radio club. They are present most of the time the ship is open to the public, and radio can also be used by other licensed operators ham.
In honor of his more than forty years of dedication to W6RO and Queen Mary in November 2007, the Queen Mary Wireless Room renamed The Nate Brightman Radio Service. This was announced by October 28, 2007 at the 90th birthday party Mr. Brightman by Joseph Prevratil, president and CEO of the Queen Mary.
Paranormal
The Queen Mary at night, focusing on the Soviet submarine B-427
The ghosts were reported on board only after permanently docked in California. Many areas are rumored to be haunted. Reports of hearing children crying in the nursery room, actually used as a playroom third class, and a mysterious sound of splashing in the pool drained first-class references. In 1966, 18 years old, engineer John Pedder was crushed by a watertight door in engine room for a fire drill, and the ghost that haunts the ship. It is also said to be the spirit of a girl named Jackie, who was killed in the billiard room, pool obsessed first class on board the ship. It is also said men shouting and the sound of metal grinding against metal can be heard below decks on the front ends arc. Those who have heard this I think is the cries of the sailors aboard the HMS Curacao when the destroyer was split in half by the liner.
The Queen Mary operates everyday paranormal themed tours, some of whom have applied theater for dramatic effect. The ship maintains an enchanted maze and expands to multiple maze during the Halloween season.
