Cover, 1950 Size of photo: 12 x 16.6 cm. (4.7 x 6.5 inches) RMS Queen Mary[3] is a retired British ocean liner that operated primarily on the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line. It is currently a hotel, museum, and convention space in Long Beach, California, United States. It is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.[4] Built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland, she was subsequently joined by RMS Queen Elizabeth[5] in Cunard's two-ship weekly express service between Southampton, Cherbourg and New York. These ”Queens” were the British response to the express superliners built by German, Italian, and French companies in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
