- Abstract
Information is provided about the building and career of the Cunard cruise ship Queen Mary, built at the shipyard of John Brown and Company between 1930 and 1936. The ship was named after Queen Mary, wife of British King George V. She won prizes for the speed of her Atlantic crossings and was stripped of her luxurious appointments during World War II when she was used as a troop transport ship. She was retired from service in 1967 and is now a tourist attraction in Long Beach, California.
