Agreed

Yup

She was originally going to be the centerpiece of a themepark created by Disney. That park was going to be DisneySea it eventually was built in Toyko Japan and as a legacy to the Long Beach plan a copy of the Queen Mary was built in DisneySea. California Disney was the compromise after the Long Beach plan failed.

Yes the truth!

eaglerocks123 lol

ton means thousand he was making it shorter to say

Ehm no. This ship weighs 81 thousand tons. not just 81 tons.

Sailstone oh ok are you in the service

The displacement (weight)of Queen Mary is 81 960 tons, The Gross Register Tonnage is 81 237 GRT, it's the internal volume, not the weight (1 GRT = 100 cubic feet or 2,83 cubic meters)

I was.

I always do that too!!

My family enjoys it cuz its like getting a tour hahaha :p

My brother and I did the exact same thing during the Disneyland trip we're on right now! 😜

I'm going this Tuesday!

True :/

Kef103 Nope, the Olympic was swapped with titanic because 2 weeks before launch they had to fix something and they didn't have time, even one person reported the keel of the ship was bent and the Olympics keel was bent.

you have clearly seen too many conspiracy documentary

GameHub // SFM // REACTIONS // GAMING// I have yet to see any reports from any of the surviving crew that said the keel was bent. I know that they made last minute changes to titanic's super structure, to correct for what the Olympic wasn't using. The upper level of the super structure on Olympic was more open, but they made it a bit more closed on the titanic because people on the Olympic weren't using the upper deck space. This made titanic's signature unevenly spaced Windows on the super structure, you know, the ones everyone tries to say the Olympic had. It's ridiculous to think that some people believe the two ships were switched as some "insurance" policy after the sinking, because the sinking of the titanic dealt a massive blow to the white star line. They didn't gain anything insurance wise from the sinking of the titanic. Switching the ships and, at least according to some, sink her on purpose for insurance money wouldn't have worked. It would have dealt a massive blow to the line, as the ship that everyone thought was new, just went down and took 1,500 souls with her.

Nikolai S the great that's because only one person saw it.

GameHub // SFM // REACTIONS // GAMING// mind giving me that person's name? Cause if it's just some ambiguous crew member with no name, odds are no one actually saw anything. And considering that a lot of people worked at the bottom of the ship, in things like cargo holds, boiler rooms and such, I find very hard to believe that one, ONE person ever noticed it. There would at least be a dozen concerned people making record of it.

+logan kerr Operated. The City of Long Beach has owned her since 1967.

No Logan, it was a Cunard liner during the whole of its working life. Ghosts are no more than a fanciful tale to give to the guillable tourists. The supposed ghosts and noises off, are the ship creaking which all old ships are prone to do.

+MrHeesbeen And that is your opinion. I've been on the ship and I can tell the difference between a creek from old age and a ghostly knock.

Hey if it helped save the ship... Everyones claiming to be haunted these days it seems to protect historical buildings and try to bring in revenue.. It works well for some.

@@masonmethot3186 It’s called being a 90 year-old ship that’s falling apart,

5MadMovieMakers *ship

@@christina-mz1lp that's the joke dumbass

Not boat ship

That's actually interesting. I've never heard the definition of the difference between "ships" and "boats". The former Premier Cruise Line had 3 ships named "The Big Red Boat".

+Ken Coker That sounds simple and clear but it doesn't specify the exact size. It means that a ship actually can have the same size as a boat. You can have a vessel, of the same size as a big life boat, that can carry it's own tender or life boat. Then it will be a ship, right?

+Ken Coker I looked up that site, lol, some of those comments are pretty funny. Well, I think I have to say: Case closed. Verdict: Everything isn't crystal clear.

randomly useless and incorrect facts.

So true!! didn't think of that while watching but so true!!

DIDCOTTWIST

Ocean liner, not cruise ship...also.

DIDCOTTWIST yes I said the same thing. Calling an 81 thousand ton ocean liner a boat.

Bill Lawton isn't a boat those little things that hang off the sides of cruise ships and ocean liners?

It's no shocker, considering he dare call this ship a Disney cruise, when it's a proud Cunard liner.

It would be more like saying your mom weighs 0.2 lbs (he grossly understated the displacement of the ship; I grossly understated the weight of your mom).

+Nikolai S the great :))

oh can it its just a old ship that served many things

They have been restoring her the last couple of years including removing particles and steel eating organisms on the hull. She is far from falling apart. If she was they wouldn't hold the Haunts under the water line

Tetragon 213 she needs to return home to the uk

She'd never survive being towed that long. According to a recent report, she'll sink in about 5-10 years unless serious action is taken to save her. Imo the damage is done though. I doubt she'd survive being towed to a drydock, leaving only mobile drydock coming to Long Beach as the solution.

Calm down dude he’s not an expert on floating houses like you are

Jim Schuck ...As did my father. 👍🇺🇸

Nice idea. I was thinking the same things about the SS United States. I also have feelings for the QE2. This one isn't that old but looks a lot better than modern cruise ships. She's a legend that have sailed a longer distance than any other ship in the World and could make some more nautical miles.

The QE2 is the real last liner

+The Slithering Swagger In my opinion the QE2 is the last beautiful liner. The QM2 is a real ocean liner but she looks too "fat".

Yeah

Good luck with that. I know a guy who has done some work on board and he said it is in complete shambles. They have big problems with raccoons and rodent infestations. Basically the ship is falling apart and because it's no longer seaworthy they're eventually going to have to deconstruct it right where it's sitting. I'm from Long Beach and I can't wait until that money pit is sold for scrap metal. It's been a boondoggle for the city for decades. Other than that I agree with you that it's very stylish and elegant in appearance.

Not really, he's reached his limit : l

Thank`s Andrew - somebody should tell the Americans that made up stories don`t become facts the more times that they are repeated.

+MrHeesbeen Happy to oblige! I'm an American myself but very interested in ocean liners AND British history! Something I learned only recently is that the American P.A.S. Franklin who was one of the people in leadership in the International Mercantile Marine in the 1930's tried to prevent or stop the building of the Queen Mary. That would have been disastrous: I've read that the building of the Queen Mary may have been what pulled England out of the Depression and then there was her value, along with the Queen Elizabeth, as troop transports. (Churchill said the two Queens shortened World War II by a year!) Franklin also, unfortunately, succeeded in getting the American liner Leviathan sent to the scrapyard in Scotland when that liner should have been put in the Reserve Fleet for the war that was so soon to break out. I just finished reading a six-volume series about the Leviathan and the story is so involved and there were so many changes of ownership for the ship that I got lost in the details. It was a very tangled situation to have British ships that were American-owned and there was also conflict of interest between companies and nationalities. The Leviathan was scrapped when she should be have been kept but thankfully the Queen Mary was built and finished and became possibly the most successful ocean liner ever to sail. She was the only superliner (if you don't count the significantly smaller Nieuw Amsterdam which was big but not like the Queen) that made money during the Depression and she even eventually paid for herself more than once during her sailing days. "Bravo!" to those who brought the Queen Mary into existence and to her officers and crew in peace and war.

You must be fun at parties

exactly.

You obvoiusly didn't watch the video.

I didn't need to, i already knew who owned it.

+Stephen Hunter Cunard owned 1936 to 1967. City of Long Beach owned 1967 to present. Hyatt, Diners, Wrather, Disney, RMS foundation, Evolution have all been lease holders and hotel / restaurant / shops/ convention operators, but not owners of the Queen Mary. The ship remains property of the City of Long Beach.

Why are we disagreeing over Disney not owning it?

Actually this is an ocean liner, to even call her a "cruise ship" is humiliating.

Technically both, in reference to the individual vessel ( the RMS Queen Mary in this case) it is both a ship and an ocean liner.

+sparkplug1018 Officially the QM is a passenger ship but definitely not a CRUISE ship. She was built for Transatlantic crossings and never did cruises.

sealover Sorry my comment wasn't clear, i meant She's both a ship and ocean liner.

Point taken, also she is a sad reminder of how this country could once build world class ocean liners,before the bastards at the top decided to shut down most of our ship building,now we have the worlds best ocean liner (Qm2) built in France FFS !!

Liche Christ no he used to be a child molesta

Well, he also kept calling her a boat. According the U.S. Naval Institute, a boat, generally speaking, is small enough to be carried aboard a larger vessel, and a vessel large enough to carry a smaller one is a ship. “You can put a boat on a ship, but you can’t put a ship on a boat.” Another factor the Naval Institute considers is the vessel’s crew, command, and use. If it has a permanent crew with a commanding officer, it’s usually a ship. If it’s only crewed when actually in use and has no official CO, then you’re probably dealing with a boat

+David H Hah, well I know some swabbies that would beg to differ with you on that, they keep calling their aircraft carriers, boats, lol.

+BaCkOuTaNdJoIn Technically, the Queen Mary was a North Atlantic liner, not a cruise ship. Different types of ships for different functions, though some (like the QM2 and her predecessor QE2) are designed to do both jobs.

***** The Queen Mary was an ocean liner. The QM2 and QE2 are not considered ocean liners per se, but are not considered cruise ships either. They have a different designation, MV, as opposed to RMS which was used for Great Britain's ocean liners

+BaCkOuTaNdJoIn RMS stood for Royal Mail Ship, the used for seagoing vessels that carry mail under contract to the British Royal Mail. MV is a boat or ship that transports cargo or people for hire.

desertfox1988GTA I'm fully aware of what it stands for... MV is Motor Vessel and refers to ships that use azipods for propulsion. I know my stuff, which is why it upsets me to see people calling the QM a boat or a cruise liner...

BaCkOuTaNdJoIn I couldn't agree more with you.

I wont sleep in my class anymore if he was my teacher

he'd be my favorite if we was my teacher

I hate history but this is interesting, I wish he was my history teacher!

oh its just because all my teachers sucked and i kinda developed a hate for history. it comes when you fail every test.

#NO MATH ALLOWED

I agree.

Did you even watch the video before commenting!! He never claimed that Disney owned her as an ocean liner. He pointed out that the Disney company got the lease at one time while she was retired - just like the current owners do!

Then why did he put in the title of the video "Disney's Forgotten Cruise Ship" instead of "Cunard's Art Deco Liner" if he knew what Queen Mary was.

@@BadWebDiver you had a point XD your right queen mary is no longer a Cunard ship after being owned by somebody shes already a free ship disney or idk own her its ok shes now a free ship shes free from Cunard

No its not. white star line made titanic. cunard line made queen mary. both were rivals, so they tried to out do each other.

What lu saelee said... Also Titanic was built by Harlond n Wolf in Ireland. Queen Mary was built by John Brown & Company in the UK.

+lu saelee They were rivals, but buy the time the QM was built they had merged into one company.

Titanic had four smokestacks while the Queen Mary has three.
