Very emotional watching this, my Dad and Grandad worked in the yard where she was built, I pass it daily in my home town Clydebank. The bit where she got stuck at the infamous Dalmuir Bend on the River Clyde on her way down to the open sea, needing a bit of push and pull from the wee tugs, made me smile!

I got the chills so many times. I love this video. Probably the only ocean liner with a happy ending

You thinking by ripping her guts (engines etc) out she can never sail again is a happy ending? They should have scuttled her and given her a dignified end.

Carl Hardin, I was born the same year you were, in Milford, Delaware. And sailed on her with my parents and younger brother in 1951 when I was six (had turned 6 in late 1950) on our way back to South Africa, where I grew up. I still remember it. I’ve been fascinated with ships and was privileged to get to cross the Atlantic six times by ship and even more times by plane. ✈️ But nothing beats traveling by ship. 🛳

Honestly, with all my heart ships are my favorite things in the world. I believe that they re beautiful and each and every one has a soul.

The Queen Mary can not described as anything else but elegant and a thing of sheer beauty. In those days, ships were designed and built with character and elegant lines. Just watching this video makes me want to go back in time and experience her splendour. She is my personal favourite ship of all times. These days, ship design has moved toward putting the biggest hotel like structure atop an enormous hull for the largest profit margin. It is such a shame. Long live the elegant Ladies of the Sea..... they will be forever in my heart. Thanks so much for allowing me to enjoy your video.

At least we still have the queen despite her not sailing and not being able to ever sail again

I went on the Queen Mary when I was 9. It was 1982. Left a big impression on me and I have studied ocean liners ever since.

At least it's still extant. There were times when it was rumored Long Beach might scrap it, but they've managed to hang on. The ship's 84 years old now.

My Father served on both the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth, he always said that whilst they were both great ships the Queen Elizabeth never quite attained the same status as the Queen Mary (IHO)There is no doubt in my mind that the Queen Mary was the greatest and most famous ship ever to sail the Atlantic; truly a great ship amongst the great ships of their day.It would be fitting if Cunard who sold her for $3.45M were now to put their hand in their pocket and donate towards the refit she so desperately needs. She did after all serve them and the United Kingdom so well for so many years and during the darkest days of the second world war. She carried the Great and the Good, Royalty, Heads of Governments, Film Stars of the Golden age of Hollywood and many many other famous people. She has earned her place in history and this greatest of all ocean going liners should be preserved for future generations to marvel at the ship building and engineering skills that built her...

She is the best ship in the world and as everyone says she is in the heart of so many people and she’s in my heart as well and one day I hope to go see her because it would just be amazing to see such an amazing, beautiful ship. She’s the queen of the ocean and she’ll forever will be. And she’ll forever and ever be in my heart and I’ll never forget her. 🖤RMS Queen Mary Forever And🖤 🖤Ever🖤

What a wonderful video. Love the music. My husband and I got the honor to board The Queen Mary the other day to wander. We have a year pass. So much Yet to see. But as I have always had an appreciation for Old Ships, this give gives me a whole new Appreciation. I can't wait to go and see Her Again. I am. just so fascinated by this awesome Ship.

such a beautiful ship, I went there about 4 or 5 years ago, even at that age, I couldn't believe how magnificent she looked, breaks my heart that she isn't sailing anymore, modern day cruise ships are just ugly if you ask me.

You always do such a good job with your videos. Thank you for letting us see them.

Went there for the third time a few days ago. Still awesome.

Though I do love the Queen Mary, I've always had a sliver of resentment toward her because the Olympic, my favorite ship was scrapped to make way for her.

My father toured the RMS Queen Mary as a Teenager at the 1939-40 World's Fair in New York. In 1942 he sailed on the RMS Queen Elizabeth as his Troop Ship from San Francisco to India; he was in the US Army Air Corps and his duty for the duration of WWII was flying B-24 Liberator Heavy Bombers "Over the Hump" into China as well as Bombing-runs against the Japanese. In 1949 he sailed on the RMS Queen Mary from New York to England to attend a Summer-session at Oxford and came back to New York via the the RMS Mauretania II, affectionately known as, "the little Queen Elizabeth."

When i first saw RMS Queen Mary in television, me and mom was like "Wow this thing is so long."

Even permanently moored in Long Beach Harbor as a static hotel and museum she is still grand and regal, albeit badly in need of new paint. I have been privileged to spend several nights and days aboard her and each time I discover something else new and exciting. I don't think it is fair to compare newer cruise ships to her - they are horses of a different color, so to speak, and by virtue of her heritage QM will always rise above. It is a shame that we have lost so many of her contemporaries and I do hope that the S.S.United States is spared the scrap yard - but we need to keep in mind that no matter how much we love them - it is expensive to keep the old gals afloat even if they are able to earn part of their keep as hotels, and find it in our hearts to contribute to the cause as we are able. Long live RMS Queen Mary.! (I know it is not correct to refer to her as such any longer, but I just can't help myself!

+Jeff Blatter. Actually she needs more than new paint. She hasn't been out of water for 50 years and the hull under the waterline is in a bad condition. The size of these ships is the problem. Everything is expensive. Only a few drydocks are even big enough for them. Smaller ships are much easier and cheaper to take care of. For example the former ocean liner MV Doulos (built in 1914 in USA as a freighter named SS Messina). In october 2015 they literally pulled her out of water to become a hotel ship on dry land in Indonesia.

GOOD JOB OLYMPICWS!!! My favorite ship is the Queen Mary! Amazing! Thumbs up and a Subscriber for you!

Documents prove the lst. Queen Mary was the most popular liner in the history of the trans-Atlantic route - quite an honour when you think of how many great ships were involved in that most prestigious crossing.

My wife and I spent some time there for our honeymoon and love it! She is grand!!

I have watched this many times in my childhood and I was onboard in 2013

Don't forget, she became a Hollywood Movie Star when she portrayed the leading roll of the SS Poseidon in that 1972 Blockbuster film, The Poseidon Adventure!

Beautiful Tribute.

What a send off she got on her final voyage! Fit for a Queen! The most beautiful thing is how she is preserved! Bravo! for once!

Awesome video, great footage and photos of the Queen Mary.

Love the old girl, my Grandad saw her in Southampton just before her maiden voyage and I saw her in Long Beach. One of the most beautiful ocean liners ever built.

I had the chance to go to Los Angeles to pick up an Airport shuttle bus and we flew from Mid Contenental International Airport North of KC,MO. to LAX. Long Beech California is only about 20 miles South. We went when the Queen Mary and the Spruce Goose were both there.. The big dome that the Spruce Goose was in was there with the Goose inside. It's Monstrorously Huge. You can park a 727 Jetliner under either wing. There was a huge crowd of people climbing the stairs up to see in the cockp;it and look at it's huge interior. Ahh but the most appealing thing hands down was the Queen Mary Herself. Ir has a couple of nice resturants abord. One was called Sir Winston's. It was a first class resturant. If you wanted to eat there you needed to dress foremal. Fantastic. I got to go in and see the Captain they had working and he let me spin the wheel a couple of times. I was like a little kid. If you want, you can stay on the ship as it is Long Beech "Hotel Queen Mary now. I had a couple of drinks in the bar just below the wheelhouse whrere you can look out over her Bouw. There is nothing in the world more pleasing than Picadelly Circus, the shopping district behind the Captain's Cabin. She is absolutely Gorgeously Historic. There willl never be another like her. I like the idea of the new QM-2. It too is beautiful. They just couldn't name her the Queen Mary-2 becakuse there can never be anothere Queen Mary as they will never be able to put all the brass and most of all HISTORY in another ship. The Q-Mary-2 today is the largest operating "Ocean Liner" in the world today. Only Ocean Liners are designed to ply the rough North Atlantic. Cruise ships are too tall and can capsize in the huge ocean waves an Ocean Liner can handle. There was only one real Queen Mary and that is why they legally cannot build another Liner named after the Queen Mother "Queen Mary" who was the Mother of Queen Elizabeth of today.

Such a beautiful ship. The story now is that she is in bad disrepair, which will cost millions of dollars to repair. Hopefully she can be saved.

it was 1958, i still remember her

Wow! This brought tears to my eyes....unbelievable. What a beautiful ship!

I am VERY PROUD THAT MY FAMILY HAS WORKED ON HER FOR .. AND PROUD THAT SHE IS IN MY HOMETOWN. SHE BEAUTIFUL 💖💖💖

I watched her sail away from Southampton (my Home Town) in 1967 as a kid with tears in my eyes. She was and is a elegant ship.

If you’ve never been to the Queen Mary, please go see her while she’s still afloat. And I know I’m not alone saying this, but the ship absolutely feels alive. I’ll talk to her as I walk around her decks. I’m sure people think I’m crazy as hell but I don’t care. She’s a gem and I hope nothing happens to her in my lifetime.

Well done, showed her life in great detail a true greyhound :D

If the RMS Olymipc became a Hotel Ship Musem she will be the first Hotel ship Musem in White Star Line/American Line

I have a good memory when I walked aboard this beautiful ship.I think it should deserve repairs and set sail again.The crew members aboard the ship were so gentle with me.

sailed in her 1959. later found out how prone to giving sea sickness, wasn't just me.

My father sailed from New York to Southampton on it in the fall of 1944, along with 15000 other US troops headed for France. He said their meals were served on deck in the swimming pool.

No, she won't ever sail again. 3 out of 4 of her engines have now been removed though the 4th will never run again. All of her boilers have been removed. She would probably not pass the Safety of Life at Sea regulations anymore, and it would cost far too much to re-engine and recommission her (at least £500 million.) She is a floating exhibit of the great liners of her day, but she will never go to sea again. But at least she is still here - her sister ship the Queen Elizabeth is no more and all the other great liners have gone - and we can go aboard and dream of what it would have been like to take her to sea. The grandest and most beautiful ocean liner of her day. Churchill once said that her contribution to the war effort was unparraleled by any other ship afloat at the time, and that single-handedly she probably helped shorten the war by at least 1 year. She is a truly proud and magnificent ship, and I know that will still be here 100 yrs to come for future generations to go and enjoy, if some essential maintenance is carried out. I would like to dine in the great stateroom, have my desert cooked at my table, and drink champagne until I have to be carried to one of her cabins.

@multirichard007

OK, but that is not a big issue. It has probably been treated with an anti-corrosive agent to reduce rusting and wasting of the steelwork in the double-bottom tanks. Ordinarily she would have had 10-15,000 tonnes of fuel oil and fresh water in these tanks which would have provided additional stability which of course is no longer present. So they have been filled with thousands of tonnes of mud to bring her deeper into the water and put weight low down and lower her centre of gravity. What I wish to know is: where the buckling described on here has taken place? Is it in the main hull plating, or just in the superstructure. This is important! If it is the superstructure/accomodation, then it is not significant.

Ahh our 1st Queen! #QueenMary4TW!

awsome video.

The Cunard Co. "ONLY" call their ships (not cruise liners at all." Only the Cunard liners are reserved to be called "Ocean Liners."all three of their Queens. (Cunard still operates the Queens but were actually bought out by a Cruise Liner Co.) But the Ocean Liners are known as Ocean Liners because of the way they are built, they are built for "trans Atlantic crossings." From Great Britain to the U. S. they are designed to follow the same crossing as the Titanic, Oceanic, Britannic etc. These last three I mention were all Sister Ship. Ocean liners. From Liverpool England to N. Y. that is the closest Great Britain is to the U. S.. These new "cruise liner boats "are huge" built much taller, but their hull are not as heavy and tall as the three Queens "as far as how tall they are, and how many passenger they can pack on for the love of money ONLY. They are not designed to cross the Atlantic Ocean which is the most dangerous Ocean to cross because of the ice flow and the huge unpredictable storms ships run into while crossing it. The Atlantic is the roughest Ocean to cross. Even though cheaper party boats are not designed to cross the Atlantic some cruise ships do cross it. But when you see how tall they are you realize that they are built top heavy. Makes them easy to capsize and many have done just that. No if I could cross I would want the largest Ocean Liner and that is the Queen Mary 2. The other two are the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Victoria. However the QM-2 is the largest Ocean Liner in the world today. I only wish I could cross the Atlantic on her.

Actually QM2 is the only real active ocean liner in the world today. QV and QE are just extended Carnival Vista class cruise ships with reinforced bows. This doesn't make them real ocean liners and a trip on them is pretty "bumpy" in rough seas, compared to an ocean liner of the same size. I've read a true story about Queen Elizabeth 2's and Queen Victoria's tandem Atlantic crossing, I think it was at the beginning of 2008. They experienced a pretty heavy storm and it caused almost chaos onboard QV while the journey was still pretty smooth on QE2, even if QE2 is slightly shorter and narrower than QV.

Legendary ocean luxury liner ❤

awesome.....thats make me cried...=|

My first experience with the Queen Mary was earlier this year when I attended a conference on her. I was smitten. First time I've stayed at a "hotel" where I was reluctant to leave.

5:47 thats the Normandie beside her

I was in elementary when I walked aboard.now I’m in middle school.and live in a different country.

At the time, nobody had heard of air pollution, let alone greenhouse effect. The populations were growing but their sizes were not half of today's. In cities it smelled of gasoline, gas (gas light, gas stoves, leaking conduits), dust, coal dust, dung, and sewers. And the music was wild, gay, fun. And the great steamships told tales of adventures in the tropics (colonies). It was all very different.

Actually the QUEEN MARY was the second Cunard ship to be named after a queen. The BERENGARIA was Cunard's first "Queen" liner.

Poseidon Adventure fans here? ;) (If you're here from Titanic II go away)

7:46 the guy all the way to the right would be Prime Minister after Churchill retired, he would last 18 months after starting a war in Egypt and was on several medications and had some drug addictions. Prime Minister Eden would retreat to Columbia and continue to do nothing. 7:53 the Duke of Windsor next to his wife, he was Queen Elizabeth’s Uncle and was king for a short time before abdicating the thrown just before his coronation so he could marry his wife, an American actress and had been previously divorced, the Cabinet didn’t allow of this marriage and he decided to step down so he could marry her, his brother Queen Elizabeth’s Father would become king in his place until his death where Elizabeth took his place as Queen

Cant believe this ship is longer than the Titanic

exlibrisas never could've said it better..... back then we hade to make everything by hand it was all the most luxurious and big but grand and each ship looked humble but now today the cruise business is one of the biggest and with that ships are completely technology based and so big and these bold bright colors....... I think that older ships are more memorable........
