Visiting the Queen: A Trip to the Queen Mary
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009We had been invited to spend time with the Queen, the ship the Queen Mary, that is.
Docked permanently in Long Beach, California, the cruise liner Queen Mary saw many years of active service until it reached its current permanent berth.

Now a hotel, tourist attraction and historical museum, the Queen is a venerable ship that first plied the waters in the time just before World War II. The passenger capacity was almost 2,000, with the crew representing a little more than half that number.
