The RMS Queen Mary was constructed for Cunard-White Star Line by shipbuilding firm John Brown at Clydebank. Her maiden voyage was in May of 1936, and in August of that year she would go on to win the Blue Riband — an accolade for transatlantic passenger liners with the highest average speeds.

The Queen Mary features some of the grandest interior designs ever seen aboard an ocean liner. Influenced by the Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 30s, the distinctive design includes strong curves and geometric forms.

With the onset of World War II resulting in the ship’s conversion to troopship for Allied soldiers. Following the war, the Queen Mary once again began shuttling passengers back-and-forth across the Atlantic ocean.

The late 1950s saw the arrival of the jet age, resulting in the decrease of demand for sea travel and inevitably leading to the retirement of the Queen Mary in the late 1960s. During her service, the Queen Mary transported over 2 million passengers, and approximately 810,000 members of the military during World War II.

The Queen Mary was purchased by the City of Long Beach in 1967, who then worked to transform the vessel into a hotel, museum and event space.

The ship has hosted a dazzling array of famous faces over the decades, including Elizabeth Taylor, Clark Gable, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, The Queen Mother, Winston Churchill, Audrey Hepburn and Greta Garbo.
