Built in 1936, the Queen Mary is the last surviving golden age liner, functioning as a hotel in Long Beach, CA since 1971. Over the last few years I’ve visited the Queen Mary six times, often accompanied by both great friends and phenomenal historians. We’d wander the ship for hours raving over the little details we’d find and sharing stories of the ship’s history as we explored.

Let’s explore the RMS Queen Mary and listen to some of the leading historians tell her tales. Keep an eye out as well for an excerpt in here of an interview I recently shot with one of Queen Mary’s crewmen! That’s a future video of its own.

Big thank-you to Michael Brady of Oceanliner Designs for sending me his Profile Artwork of the Queen Mary, allowing me to indicate the location of some of the clips we shot on board. Get a print of his beautiful artwork at https://www.linerdesigns.com/queen-mary

Originally uploaded January, 2018 and re-edited to include additional footage - some that didn’t make the first cut, others that were shot since then.
