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 its 60,000 ton Oceanic in 1928, while a Cunard ship 75,000 tons provided without a proper name.
Construction of the ship, then known only as "Hull Number 534", began in December 1930 on the River Clyde in the John Brown and the construction naval shipyards and engineering company in Clydebank Scotland. The work was interrupted in December 1931 by the Great Depression and Cunard applied to the British Government a 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 would become the Queen Elizabeth. One of the conditions of the loan was that Cunard would merge with the White Star Line, which was Cunard's British rival chief time and had already been forced by the Depression to cancel the construction of its Ocean. Both lines of agreement and the merger was completed in April 1934. Work on the Queen Mary resumed immediately and was launched on September 26th, 1934. Completion ultimately took three years and cost 3 million pounds in total. Much of the interior of the spacecraft was designed and constructed by the Bromsgrove Guild.
The ship was named after Queen Mary, consort of King George V. To launch the name she was to be given was kept a closely guarded secret. Legend has it that Cunard intended to name the ship "Victoria", according to the tradition of giving your company the names of vessels ending in "ia". However, when company representatives asked the king's permission to name the ocean liner largest after Britain, "Queen," said his wife, Queen Mary, would be delighted. And so the legend, the delegation has made choice but to report that No. 534 be called RMS Queen Mary. This story was denied by company officials and traditional rulers names have been used only for capital ships of the Royal Navy. Some support for the story was provided by Washington Post editor Felix Morley, who sailed as guest the Cunard Line in 1936, the maiden voyage of Queen Mary. In his 1979 autobiography, 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 they do not print in my lifetime." The name of the Queen Mary also could have been decided 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
He had a turbine Steam Clyde called Queen Mary, so Cunard White Star has reached an agreement with the current owners who renamed vapor TS Queen Mary II, and in 1934 the new line was launched by Queen Mary and RMS Queen Mary. On his way through the tier, the Queen Mary was slowed by drag chains eighteen, which impeded the progress of the tracer of lines in the Clyde, a part of which had been expanded to accommodate the launch.
When you set sail on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England on 27 May 1936, was commanded by Sir Edgar T. Britten, who had been a teacher for the portfolio of Cunard White Star, while the ship was under construction at the shipyard of John Brown. The Queen Mary had a gross tonnage (GT) of 80 774 tonnes, its rival, the Normandie, which had originally won a total of 79 280 tonnes, had been altered by the winter Previous to increase the size of 83 243 GT (an enclosed tourist lounge was built on the boat deck aft of the area where the court game), and therefore remained the title of the largest ocean liner. The Queen Mary left at high speeds for most of its maiden voyage to New York until thick fog forced to reduce speed on the last day of the voyage.
The observation lounge bar. The windows were once part of the promenade deck Closed response, the room is extended forward after 1967.
The design of the Queen Mary was criticized for being too traditional, especially when the hull of the Normandie was revolutionary with an electric arc-shaped aerodynamic. With the exception of his cruiser stern, seemed to be simply an expanded version of his predecessors of the Cunard pre WWI era. Its interior design, while mostly Art Deco style, it still seemed sober and conservative in comparison with the French ship ultramodern. However, the Queen Mary ship proved to be more popular than its larger rival, in terms of passengers carried.
In August 1936, Queen Mary captured the Blue Riband of Normandy, with an average speed of 30.14 knots (55.82 km / h) to the west and 30.63 knots eastbound. Normandy was refitted with a new set of propellers in 1937 and regained the honor, but in 1938 the Queen Mary took the Blue Riband in both directions with an average speed of 30.99 knots (57.39 km / h) west to the east and 31.69 knots, records which until it was lost to the SS United States in 1952.

services on board the Queen Mary varied according the class with First Class passengers gives more space and luxury. Among the services available on board the Queen Mary, the coating appears an indoor pool, lounge, ship library, nursery, outdoor tennis paddle, and kennel ship. The largest room was the first dining room (great room), covering three floors high and was led by columns wide. The installation of the pool cover also extends over two decks high.
The dining room in first class is a large map of the Middle Passage, with two tracks that symbolizes the winter / spring road (further south to avoid the icebergs) and summer / autumn route. At each intersection, a model of the Queen Mary motor to indicate the progress of the boat en route.
The First Class dining room on the Queen Mary, also known as the Great Hall.
As an alternative to the classroom first restaurant, the Queen Mary appears on a separate grill Veranda Sun Deck at the stern of the ship above. The Veranda grill was a Exclusive à la carte restaurant with a capacity of about eighty passengers, and became the light of the stars in the night club. Irish writer and presenter, Brian Cleeve spent several months as a waiter on board committees in 1938, after he escaped from the school. Also on board was a bar of observation, a Art Deco-style room, with views across the sea.
Woods in different regions of the British Empire were used in their classrooms and sleeping quarters. Accommodations range from fully equipped, first-class cabins to luxury cabins and modest cramped third class. Artists commissioned by Cunard in 1933 for the artworks inside include Edward Wadsworth and A. Duncan Carse.
The Second World War
Upon arrival at the port of New York, June 20, 1945, with thousands of U.S. troops.
In late August 1939, the Queen Mary was in a statement from New York to Southampton. The international situation led to her being escorted by the battlecruiser HMS Hood. She arrived safely, and come out to New York on 01 September. Upon arrival, the Second World War had begun and he was ordered to remain in port until further notice, along with the Normandie. In 1940 Queen Mary and Normandie in New York joined by Queen Mary new running mate Queen Elizabeth, fresh from his script in secret Clydebank. The three largest liners in the world were standing for some time until the Allied commanders decided that the three vessels that could be used as troops (unfortunately The Normandie was destroyed by fire during troopship conversion). The Queen Mary left New York to Sydney, where, along with several other liners, it became a troopship to carry Australia and New Zealand soldiers in the UK. In the conversion, its hull, superstructure and funnels were painted blue gray marine. Inside, cabin furniture and decorations were removed and replaced with wooden bunks three floors (which would later be replaced by standee bunks). Six miles of carpet, 220 cases of porcelain, crystal and silverware, tapestries and paintings were removed and stored in the tanks of the duration of the war. Wood in the cabins, the first-class dining and other public areas were covered with leather. Eventually joined the service quotas Queen Elizabeth, the two ships were the largest and fastest troops in the war, often with up to 15,000 men in one trip, and often travels out of the convoy and without escort. The fast mean it was difficult for submarines to catch.
On October 2, 1942, Queen Mary accidentally sank one of his bodyguards, who runs the light cruiser HMS Curacao against the coast of Ireland with the loss of 338 lives. Due to the constant danger of being attacked by U-Boats, aboard the Queen Mary C. Captain Gordon was under orders Illingworth strict non-stop for any reason, the Royal Navy destroyers accompanying the Queen were ordered to stay on course and rescue the survivors.
Section front of the Queen Mary was equipped with new large windows and anti-aircraft guns seen here in Long Beach.
In December 1942, the Queen Mary had 16 082 soldiers Americans in New York to Britain, a permanent record of most passengers on a ship ever. While 700 miles from Scotland during a gale, side was soon reached by a giant wave that may have reached a height of 28 meters (92 feet). An account of this crossing can be found in Walter Ford Carter's book, No The Greater Sacrifice, No Greater Love. Carter's father, Dr. Norval Carter, part of the 110th Station Hospital on board at the time, wrote that at one point the Queen Mary "damned overturned near … A moment of the top cover was at its normal height and then swoom! Down, over, and later be launched. "An estimated later that the ship tilted 52 degrees, and have turned 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 officers of the allied forces on several occasions, he appears on the passenger list as "The Colonel Warden "and insisted that the lifeboat assigned to be equipped with a 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 refitted for passenger service adding air conditioning and improving their docking settings to 711 first class of the class, 707 cabin and 577 tourist class passengers. After reassembling, the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth dominated the transatlantic passenger trade as two Cunard White Star ship weekly express service through the second half of the 1940s and well into the 1950s. Were 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 the winters, the Queen Mary entered the port with more crew than passengers. (But she and her sister Queen Elizabeth still an average of more than 1,000 passengers to cross mid-1960s.) For 1965, the entire Cunard fleet was leaving a trail of red ink. Hoping to continue funding their still under construction Queen Elizabeth 2, Cunard mortgaged most of the fleet. Finally, under a combination of age, lack of public interest inefficiency in a new market and damage the after effects of the national strike of sailors, Cunard announced that both the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth retired 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, who beat merchants Japanese scrap. And so the Queen Mary was retired in 1967, while his running mate, Queen Elizabeth retired in 1968. RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 took over the transatlantic route in 1969.
The Queen Mary in Long Beach
The Queen Mary in the northern part of the Port of Long Beach
After his retirement in 1967, she left for Long Beach, California, where it is permanently moored as a tourist attraction. From 1983 to 1993, the Queen Mary was accompanied by Howard Spruce Hughes 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 study of sound).
Since it had begun drilling for oil in Long Beach Harbor, part of the revenue had been set aside in the "Tidelands Oil Fund. Some of this money was allocated in 1958 for future purchase of a maritime museum in Long Beach.
Conversion
When the Queen Mary was purchased by Long Beach, decided to that the boat would be a welcome and no icon for the preservation of its like an ocean liner. It was decided to delete almost all areas of the ship below deck C (called R package from 1950 to lessen confusion for passengers all the restaurants were in "R" deck) to make way for the museum. This would increase the space museum to 400,000 square meters. It required removal of all boiler rooms, engine room forward, two turbine halls, stabilizers the vessel and the water softening plant. The ship now empty fuel tanks were filled with local mud to keep the center of the nave of the gravity and the project the correct levels, and that these critical factors were affected by the abolition of all the various components and structure. Only the aft engine room and "dead shaft" in the stern of the ship, would be saved from the torch of the blade. the remaining space would be used for the storage or office space. One problem that arose during the conversion was a dispute between the land and maritime unions over job of conversion. The U.S. Coast Guard United had last word, the Queen Mary was seen as a building, as most of its propellers had been removed and destroyed his equipment. The ship was also repainted with red paint water level a bit higher than its old. During conversion funnels were removed as it was the only practical way to raise waste material, the engine and boiler rooms, subsiquently was found that the funnels were conducted with more than thirty layers of paint and had to be replaced with new replica items.
A passenger in first class accommodation, which is now part of the hotel on board
With all the lower decks near gutted from R and below deck, 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 vacated the ship in 1970 after its parent, Diner's Club International was sold, and a change in corporate management was mandated in the middle of the conversion process. Specialty of the house, a company based in Los Angeles that focused on the topic of restaurants based, would take over as master lessee of the following year.
During this conversion, the plan was to convert most of the booths first and second class A and B covered only in hotel rooms and lounges and convert the main dining room for banquets. In the promenade deck, the starboard promenade deck is attached to the role of an upscale restaurant and cafe called Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton of topics such as early 19th century sailing ships. The famous and elegant refurbished Observation Bar was a western themed bar.
The Queen Mary Bridge, now open to visitors
The first smaller class rooms as the Drawing Room, Library, Conference room and music studio would be stripped of most of its accessories and converted over to retail space, greatly expanding the retail presence on the boat. Two other malls were built on the terrace in separate spaces prior to first class cabins and the engineer of rooms.
A feature of the post-war ship, the film first class, was dismissed by the kitchen space for new places to ride indoor dining. The first class lounge and room were reconfigured and converted into banquet space, while the second smoking classroom is divided into a wedding chapel and office space. The Sun Deck, the elegant Veranda grill would be destroyed and converted into a restaurant fast food, while a new luxury dining space would be created directly on it on Sports Deck in the space being used for crew accommodation. The second-class rooms would be extended to the sides of the ship and is used for banquets. On the roof R, the first dining room was reconfigured and subdivided into two locations banquet Royal Hall and the Windsor Hall. The second classroom is divided into dining kitchen storage room and a crew of disaster, while the third classroom dining room would initially be used as storage and crew space. On the cover A, the first Turkish bath complex class, the equivalent of a spa 1930, would be eliminated. The second class pool is removed and space used primarily 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 just below the pool is no longer in use.
No of crew remain intact on the ship today. Now she works as a hotel, a museum, tourist attraction, and the rental site for events, but financial results have been mixed.
The Queen Mary as a tourist attraction
On May 8, 1971, the Queen Mary opened its doors to tourists. Initially, only parts of the building were open to the public as a specialty of the house had not yet opened its restaurant in the hotel. As a result, the vessel was only open weekends. In December of that year, the Museum of Jacques Cousteau of the open sea, with only a quarter of the exhibitions planned built. Within the decade, 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 to 1980, when the Jack Wrather Corporation signed a lease for 66 years with the City of Long Beach to operate all the building. Wrather was taken by the Walt Disney Company in 1988, Wrather, owner of the Disneyland Hotel, Disney had been trying to buy for 30 years and Queen Mary was an afterthought and therefore was never marketed as a Disney property.
First class accommodation at Queen Mary, converted into a hotel room Today's 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 year, Disney plans to develop a theme park in the rest of the field. This theme park finally opened a decade later in Japan and DisneySea, with an ocean liner like the Queen Mary recreated 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 in late 1992, the Queen Mary completely closed its doors to tourists and visitors.
In February 1993, under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Delegate Joseph F. Prevratil, RMS Foundation, Inc began a five-year lease with the city of Long Beach to act as agents of the property. That same month, the tourist attraction reopened completely, while the hotel reopened in March. In 1995, the leasing of RMS spread twenty years, while the extent of the lease was reduced to only the operation of the vessel. A new company, the seaport of Queen Development, Inc. (QSDI) became operational in 1995, control of property adjacent to the vessel. In 1998, the City of Long Beach, extended the lease QSDI to 66 years. In 2005, QSDI sought Chapter 11 protection due to a rent credit dispute with the City. In 2006, the bankruptcy court solicited bids interesting party in taking over the lease from QSDI. The minimum required opening bid was $ 41m. The operation of the ship, by RMS, remained independent of bankruptcy. In the summer of 2007, leasing the Queen Mary was sold to a group called Save the Queen "managed by Hostmark Hospitality Group, which plans 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 support for iPod Flat screen TV, the three ships were painted their original fireplaces Cunard red, and the vessels of the waterline area, El Paseo port deck boards was restored and painted, and work in other parts of the ship, lifeboats many were repaired and patched, and the ships were renovated kitchen with new equipment.
In late September 2009, the management of the Queen Mary's was taken by Delaware North Companies, who plan to continue the restoration and renovation of the ship and of his property, and work to revitalize and improve one of the largest liners ocean of all time.
In 2004, the Queen Mary and aggregate production Great American Cabaret Stargazer Tibbies the space previously occupied by the bank of the ship and the wireless telegraph room. Stargazer Productions and the Queen Mary transforms space in a dinner theater work 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 of call in the Port of Los Angeles, while on a cruise to Mexico. The event was largely covered by local media and international.
Ship's horn
The same greeting is performed with the Queen Mary blowing its air horn of a work in response to the Queen Mary 2 blow mix two brand new horns pointing forward and a 1932 original Queen Mary Horn (donated by the City of Long Beach) to the stern. The Queen Mary was originally three whistles tuned to 55 Hz, frequency, because it was low enough the very loud sound that it would be painful to the human ear. Modern IMO rules specify the frequency of the ships horn to be in the range 70 200 Hz for vessels that are more than 200 meters (660 feet) in length. Traditionally, the lower the 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 whistle its Regulations, in addition to the 55 renovated Hz whistle on permanent loan. 55 Hz is the lower bass "A" note found an octave above the lowest note of a piano keyboard. The compressed air whistle Tyfon can be heard at least ten miles away.
W6RO
wireless radio room of the Queen Mary
The Queen Mary is an original, professionally manned room wireless radio was destroyed once the ship reached Long Beach. Instead, an amateur radio room created a platform upon reception of radio original discarded some of the original radio equipment used for display purposes. The amateur radio station with call sign W6RO ("Whisky Six Romeo Oscar ") relies on volunteers from a local amateur radio club. They are present most of the time the ship is open to the public, and also radios can be used by other licensed amateur radio operators.
In honor of his more than forty years of dedication to W6RO and Queen Mary in November 2007, Queen Mary Wireless Room was renamed The Radio Room Nate Brightman. This was announced on October 28, 2007 at the birthday party for Mr. Joseph Prevratil 90th Brightman, 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 then 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 playroom third class, and a mysterious splash noise in the pool drainage class references. In 1966, 18 years old, engineer John Pedder was crushed by a watertight door in the engine room during a fire drill, and his ghost said to haunt the ship. It is also said to be the spirit of a girl named Jackie who was killed in the billiard room haunts the pool of first class on board the ship. It is also said men shouting and the sound of metal on metal is crushing can be heard below decks on the front ends of the arc. Those who have heard this I think it is the cries of the sailors aboard the HMS Curacao when the destroyer was divided in two by the lining.
