RMS Queen Mary

The construction and names
With the launch of Bremen in Germany and Europe in the service, the British did not want to be outdone race in shipbuilding. White Star Line began construction of its 60,000 ton Oceanic in 1928, when the Cunard ship 75,000 tons planned, without a name own.
The construction of the ship, then known only as "Hull Number 534", began in December 1930 on the River Clyde in the John Brown and the construction of shipyards and engineering in Clydebank Scotland. The work was interrupted in December 1931 by the Great Depression and Cunard applied to the British government loan to complete 534. The loan was granted, with enough money to fill the Queen Mary and the construction of a running mate, Hull No. 552 was to become Queen Elizabeth. A condition of the loan was that Cunard would merge with the White Star Line, who was chief of Cunard British rival time and had been forced by the Depression to cancel the construction of its ocean. The two lines of the agreement and the merger was completed in April 1934. Work on the Queen Mary resumed immediately and was launched September 26, 1934. Completion finally taken three years and cost £ 3 million in total. Much of the interior of the spacecraft was designed and constructed by the Bromsgrove Guild.
The ship was named after Queen Mary, wife of King George V. To start the name she was given was to be kept a secret kept. Legend has it that Cunard for the name of the ship "Victoria" in the tradition of giving your company the names of vessels ending in "Ia". However, when company representatives asked the king's permission to name the biggest ocean liner after Britain, "the Queen, "said his wife, Queen Mary, would be delighted. And the legend, the delegation has made no choice but to declare that No. 534 is called RMS Queen Mary. This story has been rejected by company officials and traditional rulers of the names have been used as for capital ships of the Royal Navy. Some support for the story was provided by the publisher of the Washington Post Felix Morley, who has sailed as a guest of Cunard Line in 1936, the maiden voyage of Queen Mary. In his autobiography, 1979, memo, wrote that Morley was placed on table with Sir Percy Bates, chairman of the Cunard Line. Bates told the story of the name of the ship "provided they do not print my whole life." Name Queen Mary has also been determined as a compromise between Cunard and White Star Line, recently merged with Cunard, both lines had the tradition or use the names ending in "ic" with the White Star and "other things" with Cunard.
History (1934-1939)
Queen Mary 1936
He already named Clyde turbine steamer Queen Mary, so Cunard White Star has concluded an agreement with the current owners who renamed the ship Queen Mary TS II, and in 1934 the line was launched by Queen Mary and RMS Queen Mary. On his way through the stands, the Queen Mary has been slowed by drag-eighteen chains, hindering progress on the Clyde liner, some of which have been expanded to accommodate the launch.
When you set sail for its maiden voyage from Southampton, England May 27, 1936, was commissioned by Sir Edgar T. Britten, who had been a teacher for the portfolio of the Cunard White Star, while the ship was under construction at John Brown shipyard. The Queen Mary has a gross tonnage (GT) of 80,774 tons, its rival, the Normandie, which had initially won a total of 79,280 tons, was amended by the last winter, increasing the size of 83,243 GT (a closed room was built on the deck of tourists to the rear area where the game of court), and thus the title of largest cruise ship. The Queen Mary left at high speed for most of her maiden voyage to New York until thick fog forced to reduce speed on the last day of the tour.

The design of the Queen Mary has been criticized for being too traditional, especially when the hull from the Normandie was revolutionary with a form razor, aerodynamic arc. With the exception of his car back, seemed to be simply an expanded version of Cunard predecessors before the First World War era. Its interior design, while most Art Deco, he always seemed sober and conservative in comparison ship French with ultra-modern. However, the ship Queen Mary was more popular than his main rival in terms of passengers carried.
August 1936 Queen Mary captured the Blue Riband of Normandy, with an average speed of 30.14 knots (55.82 km / h) to the west and 30.63 knots eastbound. Normandy has been redesigned with a new set of propellers in 1937 and regained his honor, but in 1938 the Queen Mary took the Blue Riband in both directions with an average speed of 30.99 knots (57.39 km / h) to the west to the east and 31.69 knots, records until was lost to the SS United States in 1952.

Duncan Carse.
The Second World War
Arriving the port of New York, June 20, 1945, with thousands of American soldiers.
In late August 1939, the Queen Mary has been executing an instruction New York to Southampton. The international situation led to her being escorted by the cruiser HMS Hood. She arrived safely, and return from for New York on September 1. Upon arrival, the Second World War had begun and he was ordered to remain in port until further notice, with Normandy. In 1940, Queen Mary and Normandie in New York was joined by Queen Mary of new running mate Queen Elizabeth, fresh from the plot under wraps Clydebank. The three largest ships in the world were standing for a while until the Allied commanders decided that the three ships that could be used as soldiers (Unfortunately for the Normandy would be destroyed by fire at troops during conversion). The Queen Mary left New York Sydney, where, with several other toppings, became a troopship to carry Australian and New Zealand soldiers in the United Kingdom. In the conversion, hull, superstructure and funnels were painted blue-gray. Inside, the furniture and decorations have been removed from cabin and replaced with wooden beds of three floors (which was later replaced by the berths of passengers walk). Six miles of carpet, 220 cases of porcelain, crystal and silverware, tapestries and paintings were removed and stored in tanks on the duration of the war. The wooden huts, first dining room classrooms and other public places have been covered with leather. Finally joined the service of Queen Elizabeth quotas, the two ships were the largest and fastest troops in the war, often with a maximum of 15,000 men in one trip, and often goes on the convoy and without escort. Fasting meant it was difficult for submarines to catch.
On October 2, 1942, Queen Mary accidentally sank one of his guards, light travels cruise HMS Curacao off the coast of Ireland with the loss of 338 lives. Because of the constant threat of being attacked by submarines, aboard the Queen Mary C. Captain Gordon was Illingworth under strict orders not to leave for any reason, the Royal Navy destroyers accompanying the Queen has ordered to stay on track and rescue of survivors.
The front of the Queen Mary was given new large windows and anti-aircraft guns seen here in Long Beach.
In December 1942, the Queen Mary was 16,082 U.S. soldiers from New York to Great Britain, a permanent record of most passengers on a ship ever. While 700 miles from Scotland during a gale, was achieved in part by a giant wave that may have reached a height of 28 meters (92 feet). An account of this passage level can be found in the book by Walter Ford Carter, No greater sacrifice, No Greater Love. Carter's father, Dr. Norval Carter, part of the 110th Hospital Station on board at the time, wrote that at one time, the Queen Mary "Damned near capsized … A moment of the top cover is at its normal height and swoom! Down, over, and later be launched. "A later calculated that the ship tilted 52 degrees, and other rolled have three degrees. The incident inspired Paul Gallico to write his story, The Poseidon Adventure, which later became a movie of the same name, with Queen Mary as a substitute for the SS Poseidon.
During the war, the Queen Mary has been Prime Minister Winston Churchill across the Atlantic to meet fellow officers of the allied forces on several occasions, it appears on the passenger list as "Colonel Warden" and insisted that the boat Rescue assigned to be fitted with a cannon of 303 machines, to "resist capture at all costs."
After WWII
The Queen Mary in Southampton, June 1956
From September 1946 to July 1947, the Queen Mary was refurbished for passenger service, adding air conditioning and improving their home settings to 711 in first class of the class, 707 cabin and 577 passengers in tourist class. After reassembly, Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth dominated the transatlantic passenger trade of two ships Cunard White Star Service weekly express through the second half the 1940s and into the 1950s. Have been very profitable for Cunard. But in 1958 the first transatlantic flight by a jet launched a new era Competition Cunard Queens. On some routes, especially in winter, the Queen Mary entered the port with more crew than passengers. (But she and her sister Queen Isabel has an average of more than 1,000 passengers to cross the mid-1960.) For 1965, the entire Cunard fleet was leaving a trail of red ink. Hoping to follow under construction funding their Queen Elizabeth 2, Cunard mortgaged most of the fleet. Finally, under a combination of age, lack of public interest, inefficiency in a new market and damage after the impact of the national strike by seamen, Cunard announced that both the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth was withdrawn from service (the service of Elizabeth would leave a year later) and intended to be sold. Many bids were submitted, but it was Long Beach, Calif., beat the Japanese scrap. And if the Queen Mary was retired in 1967, while his running mate, the Queen Elizabeth retired in 1968. RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 took over the transatlantic route in 1969.
The Queen Mary in Long Beach
The Queen Mary in the northern port of Long Beach
After his retirement in 1967 she left Long Beach, California, which is permanently moored as a tourist attraction. Of 1983 to 1993, the Queen Mary was accompanied by Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose, which was in a large dome nearby (the dome is now used by Carnival Cruise Lines as a ship terminal, and those of a recording studio).
Since he started drilling for oil in the port Long Beach, part of the proceeds was set aside in the Fund "Tidelands Oil." Part of this money was allocated in 1958 for the future purchase of a maritime museum in Long Beach.
Conversion
When the Queen Mary was purchased by Long Beach, decided that the boat would be a welcome and no icon for the conservation of it as a liner. It was decided to remove almost all areas of the ship penthouse C (R package called from 1950 to reduce confusion for passengers of all the restaurants were "R" deck) to make room for the museum. This would increase the exhibition space to 400,000 square meters. It took Elimination of all boiler engine room, forward, two turbine halls, ship stabilizers and water softeners plants. ship's fuel tanks were empty now filled with mud to keep local the center of gravity of the ship and projects at correct as critical factors were affected by the removal of all the different components and structure. Only the engine room and Stern "dead tree" on the back of the ship would be saved from the torch of the blade. the remaining area will be used for storage or office space. One of the problems that arise during the conversion was a dispute between the terrestrial and maritime unions over jobs conversion. The U.S. Coast Guard had the last word, the Queen Mary has been seen as a building, like most of its propellers been removed and destroyed his equipment. The ship has also been repainted with the level of red paint to water a little higher than the former. During the funnels were removed because he was the only practical way to remove waste, engine and boiler rooms, has subsiquently was found that the chimneys were conducted with over thirty layers of paint and had to be replaced new mirror elements.
A passenger in first class accommodation, which is now part of the hotel on board
With all the lower decks, nearly emptied A cover and down, Diner's Club, the original lessee of the vessel, was to convert the rest of the ship in a hotel. Diner's Club Queen Mary dissolved and reversed the vessel in 1970 after his mother, Diner's Club International has been sold, and a change in corporate management has been mandated the middle of the conversion process. Speciality of the house, a company based in Los Angeles on the theme restaurants in operation, will take over as a major tenant of the following year.
During this conversion, the plan was to convert most of the booths first and second class A and B only covered hotel rooms and lounges and convert the dining room for banquets. In the promenade deck, the starboard promenade deck is attached to role of an upscale restaurant and a cafe called Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton of topics such as the early 19th century sailing ships. The famous and elegant refurbished Observation Bar is a western bar theme.
The Queen Mary Bridge, now open to visitors
The first classrooms as smaller lounge, library, conference room and music studio would be stripped of most of its accessories and converted over to retail space, greatly expanding the retail presence on the boat. Two more malls have been built on the terrace in front of separate spaces of first-class cabins and the engineer of rooms.
A feature of the ship after the war, the film first class was dismissed the kitchen area of new places to ride indoor dining. The first-class lounge and the room were reconfigured and transformed into space banquet, while the classroom passive smoking is divided into a wedding chapel and office space. The terrace, barbecue would be destroyed elegant Veranda and transformed into a fast food restaurant, while a luxurious dining area would be created directly on it on the sports deck space used for crew accommodation. The second class rooms would be extended on the sides of the ship and is used for banquets. On the roof R, the first room has been reconfigured and subdivided into two parts Banqueting Hall and the Royal Windsor Hotel. The second class is divided into a dining room storage for cooking and a crew of the disaster, while the third class dining room initially be used as storage and crew. On the cover A, the first class Turkish bath complex, the equivalent of a spa in 1930, would be eliminated. The second pool class is removed and the space used primarily for offices, while the beautiful swimming pool would be used for hotel guests. In combination with modern safety codes, and structural integrity of the area just below the pool is in use.
None of the crew remain intact on the ship today. Now she works as a hotel, museum, tourist attraction, and the rental site for events, but the results financial statements have been mixed.
The Queen Mary as a tourist attraction
On May 8, 1971, the Queen Mary opened its doors to tourists. Initially, only some parts of the building were open to the public as a specialty of the house had not yet opened its restaurant in the hotel. Consequently, the vessel was free that weekend. In December of that year, the Museum of Jacques Cousteau of the open sea, with only a quarter of exhibitions planned built.

Operates the Hyatt Hotel Score from 1974 to 1980, when the Jack Wrather Corporation has signed a lease for 66 years with the City of Long Beach to run all of the building. Wrather was taken by the Walt Disney Company in 1988, Wrather, owner of the Disneyland Hotel, Disney had tried to buy it for 30 years and Queen Mary was an afterthought, and therefore was never marketed as a property Disney.

What is it ?!?!?! Monty Python movie like that …?

I caught a clip of the film … Looked like a movie Monty Python, but still … and I think Tim Robbins was in it … From what I saw was made in the days and the Viking men become in this small boat research ship to go to war somewhere … It's funny because once people take the boat under discussion in which each person must sit … Like all men with a mustache sitting on the right side and all the other men on the left and continue to change the seats of all these different characteristics … Well, that's all I saw and I want to know what is the name of this movie is … If someone can help would be grrreat!

Erik the Viking. I do not think it was such a good movie. But it has one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen. I found the Japanese slave absolutely hysterical!
