The Queen Mary is a historic ocean liner that now serves as a hotel, museum, and tourist attraction docked in Long Beach, California. Launched in 1936 for the Cunard Line, she was one of the grandest and fastest ships of her time, designed to ferry passengers across the Atlantic Ocean in style and luxury. During her 31 years of service, she was considered a symbol of elegance, attracting numerous high-profile passengers, including celebrities, royalty, and political figures. During World War II, the ship was converted into a troopship, famously nicknamed the “Grey Ghost” due to her stealth and speed.
