RMS Queen Mary

The RMS Queen Mary is a British ocean liner constructed in 1936 for the Cunard-White Star Line by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland. It sailed primarily on the North Atlantic Ocean until its retirement in 1967 and, along with the RMS Queen Elizabeth, was built as part of Cunard's planned two-ship weekly express service between Southampton, United Kingdom, Cherbourg, France, and New York City, United States.

History
Queen Mary sailed on her maiden voyage on 27 May 1936 and won the Blue Riband that same August; she later lost the title to SS Normandie in 1937 and regained it in 1938, finally losing it for good in 1952 to the SS United States. With the outbreak of the Second World War, she was converted into a troopship and ferried Allied soldiers during the conflict.

Following the war, Queen Mary was refitted for passenger service and, alongside Queen Elizabeth, commenced the two-ship transatlantic passenger service for which the two ships were initially built. The two ships dominated the transatlantic passenger transportation market until the dawn of the jet age in the late 1950s. By the mid-1960s, Queen Mary and its operation began to grow costly.

Following several years of decreased profit, Cunard Line finally retired Queen Mary from service in 1967. It departed Southampton for the final time on 31 October 1967 and sailed into port at Long Beach, California, United States, where it remains permanently moored. The ship serves as a tourist attraction featuring restaurants, a museum, and a hotel. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the National Trust for Historic Preservation accepted Queen Mary as part of the Historic Hotels of America.
