What a great video...I'm not even British(or Scottish) and my chest puffed while watching lol..recently had the pleasure of strolling her Promenade, taking in her Grand Salon, tipping a few in her magnificent Foward Observation Lounge and standing on her Bridge amongst all the gleaming brass..God Save the Queen!

24 March, 1936. Schools were closed, shops were shut, and an estimated 1,000,000 people lined the banks of the Clyde River to watch the pride of Great Britain sail past. Queen Mary was finally handed over to Cunard on 12 May, 1936 after sea trials.

great video of my favourite liner, toured her in 1974. I hope she is preserved forever, she is a reminder of a grander time.

There's a picture out on the net taken from the fields on the other side of the river, with a bunch of people watching the QM slide down the ramp. Its pretty amazing
@ragemanchoo8216 жыл бұрын
Yeah, they put a large dining room in place of the tennis game deck toward the rear of the ship, to give it extra weight. Just to be able to say it weighed more. lol Unfortunately the roof of the new dining room was an observation deck parallel with the balconies of some of the most expensive cabins on the ship, ones with had large windows. lol

That river is like a stream. How did they build such a large ship in such a narrow river? Madness!

@NearAbbeyRoad Indeed! The million dollar convoy; of seven liners, of which the empress of britain (built again in john brown's yard) captained by a distant relative of mine cpt Sapsworth, was sunk off ireland. But the queens became legendary particulary with the americans

No, the ship was leaving the John Brown shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland for Southampton, England after she has just been completed, and formally handed over to the Cunard White Star Line.

The Queen Mary was never the largest or longest ship in the world. Her hull weighed 40,000 tons at the time of her launch in 1934. When completed in 1936, she would weigh 81,237 tons. The French Line took the then 79,000 ton Normandie out of service for a refit in the fall and winter of 1935-1936 which increased her tonnage to little over 83,000 tons BEFORE the Queen Mary was completed.

I've never heard that. Wikipedia said the drag chains stopped it, but for a moment it looked like they might not because its speed down the ramp and into the water was pretty fast, apparently

The RMS Queen Mary is nothing like the Titanic. It was 32 after, it was a 3rd longer and higher, twice the weight, and it was fitted in art deco, unlike the titanic which was in a periord before art deco existed. If you want to compare the titanic to other ships, its similar to the Brittanic, the Mauretania, the Olympic & The Aquitannia. There have been hundreds of ships between the titanic greater and bigger, the titanic is considered small by standards of ships as of the year 1913.

Why would somebody lie about something like that? Its too obscure. Besides, at least a couple thousand people worked on the QM between when it was laid down and when its fitting out was finished. Its not all that unbelievable.

@Ecosse821 I have been on the QM in Long Beach. She is not that attractive a ship. The French Normandie was far superior in every aspect, especially in looks. Technically Normandie was way ahead. QM was old technology when designed.
