A primer for fans of the RMS Queen Mary wanting a short, color introduction to the story of the ship, the most famous ocean liner after the Titanic. The Queen Mary is the only surviving 1930s super liner, now preserved at Long Beach, California since 1967, after a career of thirty-one years at sea.Launched in 1934 by Her Majesty Queen Mary, the Queen Mary was the first British super liner, twice as large as any other British liner afloat. Built during the Great Depression, it was the construction of the Queen Mary that kick-started Britain s economy at the time, with tens of thousands throughout the country employed in making her or fixtures and fittings for the ship.Profusely illustrated, with many pictures in color, RMS Queen Mary tells the story of this super liner, from construction to preservation, with many previously unpublished images.".
