Queen Mary

It was in 1975. I went on the classic tour, heard the stories including the liner being used during WWII to transport troups to England. I believe my father-in-law may have sailed on this ship when he was transported to England before D-Day.

Previously, back in December, 1967, we went to the beach to watch the Queen Mary sail in. I think it was suppose to be her final voyage. All I remember about it was it was very cold, even for Southern California and even colder at the beach.

I especially enjoyed the ghost stories. I had totally forgotten that the Queen Mary was once named “The Grey Goose” during WWII.

Would be fun to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show on board.

This ship has so much history (and has the been the setting for many movies and TV shows, including the X-Files!). It also has quite a few ghosts, apparently.

There is a lavish champagne brunch on Sundays, and you can even stay in the same suite that Winston Churchill used. Definitely worth a second visit.

The New Year’s Eve thing looks like fun…
