05203 1:570 Queen Mary

The "Queen Mary" which was laid down at John Brown's on Clydebank
in 1930 and completed in 1936, was one of the three 80000 BRT
superliners of the 30's. In August 1936 the "Queen Mary" crossed
the Atlantic at 30.14 knots westwards ant at 30.63 eastwards,
thus taking the Blue Riband from the "Normandie", who quickly
regained the trophy in 1937 until the "Queen Mary" finally held
the record until 1952. When the Second World War broke out, the
liner was transferred to Sydney, where she was fitted out as a
troop carrier for 15,000 soldiers. After the war the "Queen Mary"

returned to North Atlantic passenger service. In 1967 the Cunard
White Star Line disposed of the ship by selling it to the town
of Long Beach, where it has operated as a floating hotel since
1971.
