The Queen Mary embarked on her maiden voyage in 1936, and was finally retired in 1967 after 1001 Transatlantic crossings. She is now owned by the City of Long Beach, California, and serves as one of the world's great venues for a celebration, special event, wedding... or even a simple dinner with a valued friend.

She is 1020 feet long, has 12 decks, and in her more active days required a full crew of 1,174 and could carry 1957 passengers.
