Chris Frame - Cruise History

"Hotel Queen Mary". I've just returned from visiting the ship for the first time. She's 89 years old. The ship was built in 1936 and helped the allies win World War II with its troop carrying capacity. It served as a transatlantic liner until 1967 when it was sold to Long Beach. It's been a hotel since and after Covid almost "sunk" it - was reopened with a new owner who are doing a great job preserving the ship.
