History

The RMS Queen Mary was constructed in 1936 and functioned as a luxury liner during the Second World War. She became a great popular tourist destination after the war until she retired in 1967. She served as a passenger vessel between England and America and was among the most opulent vessels of her era. She was reconfigured as a troopship during WWII and played an important part in the war effort. She became a famous tourist attraction after the war and continued in operation until 1967. In 1971, she was brought to Long Beach, CA, where she has been open to the public as a museum ship ever since. 

Her specifications are as follows:

Length: 1,031 feet

Width: 118 feet

Height: 185 feet

Her current function as a museum ship is crucial because it enables tourists from across the globe to learn about her fascinating past. A World War II museum, an engine room tour, as well as a number of stores and restaurants, are among the various exhibitions and activities that can be found on the Queen Mary. She has played a significant role in Long Beach's history and is still a favorite with travelers from across the globe. The city of Long Beach wants to rehabilitate the queen Mary ship, which is now in need of repair. The city hopes to remedy the ship's hull problems before they worsen because they have been present for a long time.
