RMS Queen Mary

Construction and Nomenclature
With the launch of its Bremen of Germany and Europe in service, the British did not want to stay out in the race for shipbuilding. White Star Line began construction of its 60,000-ton Oceanic in 1928, while a ship's planned 75,000 ton Cunard unnamed own.
The construction of the ship, then known only as "Hull Number 534", began in December 1930 on the River Clyde by John Brown & Engineering and Shipbuilding Company Shipyard Clydebank Scotland. Work stopped in December 1931 because the Great Depression and Cunard applied to the British Government for a loan to complete 534. The loan was granted, with enough money to complete the Queen Mary and build a running mate, Hull No. 552, which would be the Queen Elizabeth. One of the conditions of the loan was that it would merge with Cunard White Star Line, which was a rival Cunard UK at the time and had already been Forced by the Depression to cancel the construction of its Oceanic. Both lines agreed and the merger was completed in April 1934. Work on the Queen Mary resumed immediately and she was released on September 26, 1934. Conclusion finally took three years and cost 3 million pounds in total. Much of the ship's interior was designed and constructed by the Bromsgrove Guild.
The ship was named after Queen Mary, consort of King George V. Until its release the name she was given was to be maintained secret. Legend has it that Cunard for the name of the ship "Victoria" in accordance with company tradition of naming its vessels ending in "ia". However, when company representatives asked King's permission for the name of the ocean liner after Britain's largest "queen," said his wife, Queen Mary, would be delighted. And so the legend, the delegation was of course no other choice but to report that No. 534 would be called RMS Queen Mary. This story was denied by company officials, and the names of rulers traditionally have been used only for capital ships of the Royal Navy. Some support for the story was provided by the publisher of The Washington Post Felix Morley, who sailed as a guest of Cunard Line, on the maiden voyage of the Queen Mary in 1936. In his autobiography of 1979, For the Record, Morley wrote that he was at the table with Sir Percy Bates, president of Cunard Line. Bates told him the story of naming the ship "provided that you will not print it in my lifetime. "The name Queen Mary might also have been decided as a compromise between Cunard and White Star Line, Cunard that had recently merged, both lines had a tradition of using names or ending in "ic" with the White Star and "would" with Cunard.
History (1934-1939)
Queen Mary 1936
There was already a steam turbine Clyde named Queen Mary, so Cunard White Star reached agreement with the owners that the ship would be present renamed TS Queen Mary II, and in 1934 the new liner was launched by Queen Mary and RMS Queen Mary. On his way to the launch pad, the Queen Mary was delayed by chains drag eighteen years, that progress in the lining of the Clyde, a part of what had been enlarged to accommodate the launch.
When she left on her maiden voyage to Southampton, England on May 27, 1936, she was commanded by Sir Edgar T. Britten, who had been nominated as commander of the Cunard White Star, while the ship was under construction John Brown shipyard on. The Queen Mary had a gross tonnage (GT) of 80,774 tonnes, and its rival, the Normandie, which originally raised 79,280 tons, had been altered the previous winter, to increase its size to 83,243 GT (a closed room resort was built on the boat deck aft in the area where the game was the judge) and thus retained the title of the largest ocean liner. The Queen Mary left at high speed for most of his first trip to New York to the heavy fog forced a speed reduction, the last day of the crossing.
The observation lounge bar. The windows were closed part of the turnaround Promenade Deck, the lounge has been extended to forward after 1967.
The design of the Queen Mary was criticized for being too traditional, especially when the hull of the Normandie was revolutionary, a cutter with a bow-shaped simplified. Except for her cruiser stern, she seemed to be just an expanded version of his predecessors Cunard's pre World War I era. Interior design, while most Art Deco, still seemed restrained and conservative when compared to the ultramodern French liner. However, the Queen Mary ship proved to be more popular than its nearest rival in terms of passengers.
In August 1936, the Queen Mary captured the Blue Riband from Normandie, with an average speed of 30.14 knots (55.82 km / h) knots in the sense west-east and 30.63. Normandie was refitted with a new set of propellers in 1937 and reclaimed the honor, but in 1938, Queen Mary took the Blue Riband in both directions, with average speed of 30.99 knots (57.39 km / h) from west to east and 31.69 nodes, records that stood until lost to the SS United States in 1952.
Interior

Amenities aboard the Queen Mary changed according with class, with First class passengers given more space and luxury. Among the facilities available on board the Queen Mary, the ship carried a swimming pool, lounge beauty, the ship's library, a nursery for children, tennis racket outdoor kennel and ship. The largest room was the dining room of the first class (large room) extending over three stories tall and was anchored by columns wide. The indoor pool facility also spread over two stories tall.
The room dinner of the first class presented a large map of the transatlantic crossing, with individual tracks, symbolizing the winter / spring course (further south to avoid icebergs) and summer / Autumn route. During each trial, a motorized model of the Queen Mary show that the progress of the vessel during the voyage.
The First Class dining room of the Queen Mary, also known as the Grand Salon.
As an alternative to the dining room first class, the Queen Mary presented separately Balcony Grill on Sun Deck at the rear upper deck. The Grill Verandah was a unique a la carte restaurant with a passenger capacity of about eighty, and was converted to the Starlight club night. Irish writer and broadcaster, Brian Cleeve spent several months as a commis waiter in the ship in 1938, after he fled the school. Also aboard the Observation Bar, an Art Deco style room, overlooking the open sea.
Woods, from different regions of the British Empire were used in their public rooms and cabins. Accommodations ranged from completely equipped, first class deluxe cabins and modest cramped cabin of the third class. Artists commissioned by Cunard in 1933 for works of art inside include Edward Wadsworth and A. Duncan Carse.
World War II
Arriving at the port of New York, June 20, 1945, with thousands of U.S. soldiers.
In late August 1939, the Queen Mary was executed in a return to New York to Southampton. The international situation led to her being escorted by the battle of HMS Hood. She arrived safely, and went back to New York in 2001 September. At the moment she arrived, the Second World War had started and she was ordered to remain in port until further notice next to the Normandy. In 1940, Queen Mary and Normandie in New York were joined by new Queen Mary's running mate Queen Elizabeth, fresh from his secret trait of Clydebank. The top three shirts in the world stood for some time until the Allied commanders decided that the three ships could be used as troops (unfortunately, the Normandie would be destroyed by fire during troopship his conversion). The Queen Mary left New York to Sydney, where she, along with several other coatings, was converted into a troopship to carry Australian troops and New Zealand to the UK. On conversion, its hull, superstructure and funnels were painted Navy gray. Inside, cabin furnishings and decor were removed and replaced with three-tier wooden bunks (which would later be replaced by standee bunks). Six miles of carpet, 220 cases of porcelain, crystal and silver service, tapestries and paintings were removed and stored in warehouses for the duration of the war. The cut in cabins, dining room first class and other public areas were covered with leather. Eventually, he joined the army service, the Queen Elizabeth, the two ships were the largest and most troops engaged in war, often carrying up to 15 000 men in one trip, and often travel in convoy and without escort. Its high speed meant it was difficult for ships to U catch them.
On October 2, 1942, Queen Mary accidentally sank one of her companions, cutting the light cruiser HMS Curacoa off the Irish coast, with the loss of 338 lives. Due to the constant danger of being attacked by U-boats, on board the Queen Mary C. Captain Gordon Illingworth was under strict orders not to stop for any reason, Royal Navy destroyers accompanying the queen was ordered to stay on course and not rescue the survivors.
The front section of the Queen Mary was fitted with new windows large and antiaircraft guns seen here in 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 being transported in a ship. While 700 miles from Scotland during a gale, she was suddenly hit broadside by a rogue wave that may have reached a height of 28 meters (92 ft). An account of this passage can be found in the book by Walter Ford Carter, no major sacrifice in the Greater Love. Carter's father, Dr. Norval Carter, part of the 110th Station Hospital board at the time, wrote that at one point the Queen Mary "damned near turned … A time when the upstairs was at its height normal and then swoom! Down on her lawn and stream. "It has been calculated after the ship tilted 52 degrees, and would face if it had rolled over three degrees. The incident inspired Paul Gallico to write his story, The Poseidon Adventure, which was later made into a movie with the same name, using the Queen Mary as a stand-in for the SS Poseidon.
During the war, the Queen Mary carried British Prime Minister Winston Churchill across the Atlantic for meetings with allied forces fellow employees, On several occasions, he would be listed on the passenger manifest as "Colonel Warden" and insisted that the vessel assigned to him be equipped 0.303 with a machine gun so he could "resist capture at all costs."
After World War II
The Queen Mary in Southampton, June 1956
From September 1946 to July 1947, Queen Mary was retired for service of passengers, adding air conditioning and update its configuration of docks for 711 first class, 707 cabin class and 577 tourist class passengers. After refurbishment, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth dominated the transatlantic passenger trade as ship of the Cunard White Star two weekly express service through the second half of the 1940s and well into 1950. They proved extremely profitable for Cunard. But in 1958, the first transatlantic flight by a jet began a completely new era of competition for the Cunard Queens. On some trips, winter, especially, the Queen Mary sailed into the harbor with more crew than passengers. (But she and her sister Queen Elizabeth has an average of 1,000 passengers pass through in the 1960s.) In 1965, Cunard's entire fleet was leaving a trail of red ink. Hoping to continue to finance its construction still on the Queen Elizabeth 2, Cunard's mortgaged most of the fleet. Finally, in a combination of age, lack of public interest, inefficiency in a new market and damage after the effects of national maritime strike, Cunard announced that Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth would be withdrawn from service (Elizabeth to leave the service, one year later) and were being sold. Many offers were made, but it was Long Beach, Calif., who beat Japanese scrap dealers. And then, the Queen Mary was retired from service in 1967, while his running mate, Queen Elizabeth was withdrawn in 1968. RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 took over the transatlantic route in 1969.
The Queen Mary in Long Beach
The Queen Mary on the north side of the Port of Long Beach
After his retirement in 1967, it steam for Long Beach, California, where he 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 stage).
Since it began drilling for oil in Long Beach Harbor, some of the recipes had been annulled in the "Tidelands Fund Oil. "Part of that money was allocated in 1958 for the future acquisition of a maritime museum to Long Beach.
Conversion
When Queen Mary was purchased by Long Beach, they decided the ship would be an iconic host and not to preserve it as a liner. It had been decided to clear almost all areas of the ship C deck (called R deck after 1950 to lessen the confusion of passengers all the restaurants were in the "R" deck) to make way for the museum. This would increase the museum space to 400,000 square feet. It required the removal of all boilers, the engine room forward, two rooms turbogenerator, outrigger the vessel and water softening plant. The ship is now empty fuel tanks were filled with local clay, which would keep the center of gravity of the ship and the project the right level, once these critical factors were affected by the removal of all the various components and structure. Only the engine room aft and "alley Well, "the stern of the ship would be spared from the torch cutter. Remaining space would be used for storage space or office. One problem that arose during the conversion was a dispute between land and maritime unions on the work of conversion. The U.S. Coast Guard had the final word, the Queen Mary was considered a building, since most of its drivers had been removed and gutted their machines. The ship also been redesigned with its water level ink red a little bigger than your old one. During the conversion of the funnels were removed as it was the only practical way to lift the scrap materials of engine rooms and boilers, subsiquently found that the funnels were arrested, along with over thirty coats of paint and had to be replaced by other new replica.
A passage in the first class accommodation, now part of the hotel on board
With all the lower decks were almost gutted R deck and down, Diner's Club, the lessee original ship, was to convert the rest of the ship in a hotel. Diner's Club Queen Mary dissolved and evacuated the ship in 1970 after its parent company, Diner's Club International was sold, and a shift toward business was mandated through the process of conversion. Specialty restaurants, a Los Angeles company that focuses on basic restaurants thematic basis, would take over as master lessee the following year.
During this conversion, the plan was to convert most of their cabins for the first and second A and B decks only in hotel rooms, and convert the main halls and dining rooms into banquet spaces. On Promenade Deck, the starboard promenade deck would be closed for appeal a fancy restaurant and a cafe called the Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton theme, as early 19th century sailing ships. The famous and elegant observation Bar was redecorated as a western-themed bar.
The Queen Mary's bridge, now open to visitors
The lowest first-class public rooms such as lounge, library, reading room and music studio would be stripped of most of its accessories and converted to retail space, expanding retail presence strongly on the ship. Two centers business were built more on the deck in spaces previously used for first-class cabins and engineer quarters.
A feature of the postwar the vessel, first-class film, was removed to the kitchen space for new eateries Promenade deck. The first class lounge and smoking room have been reconfigured and converted into banquet space, while the smoking room of the second class would be divided into a wedding chapel and offices. On Sun Deck, the elegant Balcony Grill would be gutted and converted into a fast food restaurant, while a stylish new dining room would be built directly above the Sports Deck in the space once used for crew quarters. The second class lounges would be expanded to the sides of the ship and used for banquets. R on deck, dining room first class was reconfigured and subdivided two banquet rooms, a beauty salon and cafe Royal Windsor. The dining room of the second class would be divided into storage in the kitchen and a dining room, dining room, while the third class would be initially used as storage space and crew. Also on deck A, the complex first-class Turkish bath, the equivalent to 1930 for a spa, would be eliminated. The second class pool would be removed and its space used primarily for office space, while swimming for the first class set will be used for hotel guests. Combined with modern safety codes, and the structural soundness of the area just below the pool is not longer in use.
No crew cabins remain intact on the ship today. She now serves as a hotel, museum, tourist spot, and to rent site for events, but its financial results have been mixed.
The Queen Mary as a tourist attraction
On May 8, 1971, Queen Mary opened its doors to tourists. Initially, only parts of the ship were open to the public as specialty restaurants had not opened their dining rooms or hotel. As a result, the ship was only open on weekends. In December of that year, the Museum of Jacques Cousteau of the open sea, with only one quarter of the exhibitions planned built. Within a decade, Cousteau museum closed due to low ticket sales and the deaths of many fish that were housed in the museum. In November the following year the hotel opened its initial 150 rooms. Hyatt operated the 1974-1980, when the Jack Wrather Corporation signed a lease for 66 years with the City of Long Beach to run throughout the property. Wrather was taken over by the Walt Disney Company in 1988, Wrather owner of Disneyland Hotel, Disney was trying to buy for 30 years, the Queen Mary was thus an afterthought and was never marketed as a Disney property.
first-class accommodations on the Queen Mary, converted into a hotel room today with modern curtains, bedding and amenities surrounded by original wood paneling, portholes and lamps.
Through the eighties and early nineties, the Queen Mary continued to financial difficulties. During the years of Disney, Disney planned to develop a theme park on the remaining land. This theme park eventually opened a decade later in Japan as DisneySea, with OceanLiner a recreated like Queen Mary as its centerpiece. Hotel Queen Mary closed in 1992, when Disney gave up the lease of the ship to focus on what would become Disney's California Adventure. The tourist attraction remained open for two months, but by 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 Joseph F. Prevratil, RMS Foundation, Inc has initiated a five-year lease with the City of Long Beach to act as operators of the property. Later that month, the tourist attraction reopened fully, while the hotel was reopened in March. In 1995, the RMS lease was extended for 20 years, while the extension of the lease was reduced to just run the ship itself. The new company, Seaport Queen's Development, Inc. (QSDI) came into existence in 1995 to control the property adjacent to the ship. In 1998, the City of Long Beach extended the lease QSDI to 66 years. In 2005, QSDI sought Chapter 11 protection due to a dispute with the City rent credit. In 2006, the bankruptcy court requested proposals to share interesting take on the granting of QSDI. The minimum required opening bid was $ 41M. The operation of the ship, by RMS, remained independent of bankruptcy. In summer 2007, the Queen Mary's lease was sold to a group called Save the Queen "managed by Hostmark Hospitality Group, which wanted to develop the adjacent land the Queen Mary, and update, renew and restore the Queen Mary. During the time of his administration, the cabins have been upgraded with iPod docking station and flat screen TV, the three ships funnels were repainted its original red color Cunard, and the area of waterline ships, the port boards Promenade Deck was restored and decorated well working in other parts of the ship, lifeboats, many have been repaired and corrected galleys and ships have been renovated with new equipment.
In late September 2009, management of the Queen Mary was taken over by Delaware North Companies, which plans to continue the restoration and renovation of the ship and its property, and work to revitalize and reinforce one of the great ocean liners of all time.
In 2004, Queen Mary and added Stargazer Productions Tibbles Great American Cabaret for the previously occupied space bank of the ship and wireless telegraph room. Stargazer Productions and Queen Mary transformed the space into a working dinner theater complete with stage, lights, sound and pantry.
Meeting in Queens
On February 23, 2006, the RMS Queen Mary 2 welcomed its predecessor, since it made its port of call in Los Angeles Harbor, while on a cruise to Mexico. The event was heavily covered by local and international media.
Ship Horn
The salute itself was carried out with the Queen Mary blowing an air horn their work in response to the Queen Mary 2 blowing its combination of brand new two horns pointing forward and one original Queen Mary Horn 1932 (donated by the City of Long Beach), to aft. The Queen Mary was originally three whistles tuned to 55 Hz, the frequency chosen because it was low enough that the extremely loud sound that would not be painful to human ears. Modern IMO regulations specify ships horn frequencies to be in the range of 70,200 Hz for vessels that are more than 200 meters (660 feet) long. Traditionally, the lower frequency, the larger the ship. The Queen Mary 2, being 345 meters (1,130 feet) long, was given the lowest possible frequency (70 Hz) to the whistles its regulation, in addition to the refurbished 55 Hz whistle on permanent loan. 55 Hz is the lowest bass "A" a note found octave above the lowest note of a piano keyboard. The pneumatic Tyfon whistle can be heard in at least ten miles away.
W6RO

In its place, a room Amateur Radio, has created a floor above the reception room with original radio discarded some of the original radio equipment used for display purposes. The amateur radio station with the call W6RO ("Whisky Romeo Oscar Six") has a volunteer amateur radio club. They are present most of the time the ship is open to the public, and the radios can also be used by other licensed amateur radio operators.

The ghosts were reported on board only after permanently docked in California. Many areas are rumored to be haunted. Reports of hearing little children crying in the nursery room, actually used as a games room of the third class, and a mysterious splash noise in the pool drained first-class are cited.
