I'm just glad to see she's getting the needed Renovations and Maintenance that she deserves. I can't believe that they leased her out without a stipulation in the contract that a percentage of her Annual income must go to her annual general maintenance and upkeep over the decades and verified. Afew years ago it sounded like she would get sold or scraped. Especially when all of her lifeboats were being destroyed. The Queen Mary served America and the World well so she deserves to be well taken care of in her aging years. I'm not a fan of California at all but at least they're doing this right.
I grew up there so I can talk.
Is the Scorpion really a type 21 German U Boat ?
more unique than Disney – I was there once if I am in socal I'd love to see it again
Awesome video, great to see these changes at last!
I love this ship and I’m so excited to see it is finally getting the care it so richly deserves!
I haven't been inside the Queen Mary in about 40 years but I see the exterior frequently from the Carnival Cruise ships. I know that she was looking mighty drab I'm glad they're giving her some attention.
Hi from Finland. How deep is water below propeller
I'll only be happy when she is back at sea under her own power. Alas, that'll never happen again..
Thank You for the updates Alex.. and she really looks Gorgeous! 🚢
Great update Alex! Some day I hope to see her!
Great to see all this work going on excellent up date thanks Alex.
My family and I had a wonderful stay on the QM in December 2019. You could see it needed a refresh, but the stay was wonderful and the food was delicious. So glad to see the QM coming back to life in a big way and cannot wait to get back!
COOL… I took photos when she arrived in the Port of Long Beach…. glad she is still O.K.
Thanks for the update. I stayed onboard the Queen Mary back in October 2023 and while walking around, I spoke to one of the people working on exterior restoration. I could tell he took great pride in his work. I took the engine room tour and the guide was quite enjoyable; he seemed happy to be there and to be able to pass on his knowledge of the ship. It looks like they have a good team working there; the future looks bright for the QM and I look forward to staying again in the future to see all the work they have done.
Thank you for the update. The queen Mary is looking very good and I have to get out to see her
Really interesting I hope someone takes charge and removes the submarine. It seems the old boiler rooms could get sand blasted and painted also.
Thank you for the continued updates! Fascinating viewing and well done to the City of Long Beach for having the foresight to see what a huge asset this is to the area.
Is it true she was hidden in Milford Sound NZ from the Japanese during WW2 because she was being used as a troop transport ship?
That sound could have been in the lift shafts right next to him.
An excellent update. Thank you.
I prefer the 2020 engine room lighting there is more contrast and 2023 is just to bright
Great update !
This is so uplifting to know she will looked after properly and return the investment many times over.
Alex, thanks for keeping the Queen Mary on the front burner. The stories I could tell of all the places we would sneak around, all off the official tour of course — lol.
Yay so glad for a new vid
Thankgod there's people out there that care about this piece of history
I remember as a young child visiting her, before her final sailing to the USA.
I was born in Southampton (in 1940) and spent my childhood in a village 7 miles outside the city but even at that distance you could hear the fog horns of the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary.
I went down to Southampton when the SS United States arrived on her maiden voyage and she had won the Blue Riband. They had used rubbish paint on her hull as it had all been stripped off on the water-line.
