The Queen Mary in Long Beach

The RMS Queen Mary is a retired ocean liner that sailed in the North Atlantic for the Cunard Line between 1936 and 1967. When the Queen Mary was retired in 1967, it was relocated to the Port of Long Beach in Southern California where it was permanently moored and converted into a museum and hotel. Today it is one of the most popular and most visited attractions in Long Beach.
