THE QUEEN MARY
Port of Long Beach, California
This former "Royal Mail Ship", was built in
Scotland and plied the North Atlantic from
South Hampton, England to New York as a
luxury liner for 31 years with time out during
World War II when she was refitted to become
a troop carrier. Weighing 81,231 tons, the
Queen Mary is over 1,019 feet long, 118 feet
wide, and 145 feet from the water line to the
top of the stacks. Purchased in 1967 by the
city of Long Beach, the Queen Mary sailed
from New York around the Cape Horn to her
new home in Long Beach to become a hotel
and convention center with such attractions as
restaurants, shops, and a museum of the sea.
