Long Beach, CA

From Ship to Ship below was our view of the Queen Mary from our ship once docked in Long Beach. We spent the afternoon getting some wonderful tours of this magnificant ship. After living on a ship the last two month and going around Cape Horn, it was fascinating to read what it was like when others did it 50 years ago. The Queen Mary still holds the record for transporting the most people across the Atlantic. It held 16,680 soldiers in one sailing while transporting them for WW2.
We got to see inside the queens suite and in the Grand Ballroom as well as the first class pool. The tours of this ship and the Russian Sub took all afternoon and were very comprehensive.
