Launched in an era when speed and grandeur went hand in hand, the RMS Queen Mary is the last survivor of the golden age of ocean liners. From the time of her maiden voyage in 1936, passengers crossed the North Atlantic cocooned in luxury. Movie stars, tycoons, politicians, and royalty shared a ship with everyday people, for whom this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During World War II, the Queen Mary ferried countless soldiers safely across the sea and, at war’s end, carried their brides and babies home to America. Refurbished and polished to her previous glory, the Queen Mary continued to carry passengers until her final voyage to Long Beach in 1967. The RMS Queen Mary now serves as a floating hotel and tourist attraction, a living testament to her glamorous history, a generous showcase of art, and a magnificent example of a time when oceans could be crossed in both comfort and beauty.

"We are really unhappy about the book binding about half of the pages have fallen out! My son got so upset when I told him I wanted to return and exchange it that I couldn't do it. The content seems good but I have spend most of my free time tring to tape the pages back into the book!"

- This book is somewhat smaller (6.5"x9.25") than I anticipated, and kind of thin (3/8"), but that's not really a bad thing once one has this in hand. Not many of this genre are that large anymore, maybe due to the economic state of things today. However, in the limited world of truly fabulous ocean liner books, this is one of the nicer ones in terms of images we haven't seen before. Its a cute little edition for my collection. The descriptions are nicely placed, offer many new insights, and anyone could enjoy it.
- An extremely fine book on the QM. I have many coffee table books on the QM (you can find them all on AMAZON) and I was delighted with what I found when I received this book.
This book is chock full if pictures I have never seen before. A must for anyone interested in the history of the QM.
A great place to start! - Very nice book with lots of photos. This is a gift for someone who once was a passenger on the Queen Mary but suffered from seas sickness and was unable to enjoy the voyage and the decor. I am sure she will like this travel back in time.
- Ordered the book for grandson after having visited the Queen Mary. He loves the book.
- Nicely put together with some photos I'd not seen before. A welcome addition to the RMS Queen Mary's extensive bibliography.
- Lots of great photos and information. Too bad all the photos are black and white. How cool would they be if they showed the cabins and public rooms in all their colorful glory!
- Nice book to prop up on the ledge in the bathroom. Fun to browse through. Also helpful if you and some friends intend to build a replica ship.
- We are really unhappy about the book binding about half of the pages have fallen out! My son got so upset when I told him I wanted to return and exchange it that I couldn't do it. The content seems good but I have spend most of my free time tring to tape the pages back into the book!
