I consider them to be the absolute pinnacles of engineering, something that I don't say lightly. The only things that are even remotely their equal are spacecraft in my opinion, and even then, until the day comes when large spaceships such as the ones seen in Star Wars and Star Trek are developed, nothing in the world can take this title from the liners.

From an era when “Clyde built” was the standard. So glad that in 2022 QM is receiving a $1m refit and conservation. Funds raised from filming revenues. Her nearly 100 year old hull is still in excellent condition and with care she will be around for many generations to experience first hand. A true Scottish icon.

I took my niece to stay on the queen Mary in long Beach a few years ago. I wanted to see her first hand, knowing the opportunity to do so was probably closing. Of course she was gutted of her boilers, etc. It was like visiting the funeral home. She was very tired looking the way she was "laid out". My feelings were mostly of sadness. I took pictures of the artwork in our cabin. Yes, it was an odd sort of deco but endearing at the same time. Thank you Mike, for another well rounded enthusiastic video.

Totally agree! It just doesn’t look the same as it did in it’s prime before WWII. Many things have been changed about the ship. The interiors are mainly original but many things are not. I particularly hate how they got the paint colors wrong and how they ruined the face of the ship by widening the windows of the forward facing bar. The smokestacks look different than the originals too. I preferred the original tiling instead of the carpet.

I've long been of the opinion that machines do have a soul, and to lock them up like Mary is right now or like so many cars which are kept in garages from the day they're bought and never driven until they eventually rust away, it's a heartbreaking sight and it kills the very spirit that makes these machines so wonderful

Fascinating as ever and what a magnificent ship she was. Fun fact, my late grandfather would have been in one of the photos of her launch from the opposite bank. Remarkably, his father in law was stood just a few feet away from him at the time, but they wouldn't actually meet for over a decade.

My family going back nearly 100 years were all ship builders, ships carpenters, draughtsman and sea trials engineers on the upper and lower clyde. I myself have lived along the Clyde my whole life and regularly walk next to the fitting out dock the Lusitania sat at right across the river from Erskine. My gran stayed in a top floor tenement in Scotstoun on the same street as Yarrow's, I clearly remember the sounds and sights and smells of the yards, shift change whistle, and crowds of workers. It's a treasured thing to have such a close relationship with "clyde built".

A great story and well-told Mike! You've got to admire the men who designed and built Queen Mary. No computers in those days, maybe a slide rule. No CAD, everything done the old-fashioned way on drafting boards using T-squares, French curves, triangles and ink pens. (I learned how to use the same in high school 52 years ago.) And the building! Single red-hot rivets driven by burly men with sledgehammers. A lot of love, sweat, and no doubt a little blood went into that ship. What an achievment! Thanks for "Taking us back!"

Excellent presentation thanks again for your hard work. I am also a ships enthusiastic back to my childhood in the 1950s. By the 1980s I was a frequent visitor on Queen Mary at Long Beach CA. I have visited her Jaques Casto Museum, with engine room tour and stayed overnight in here historic staterooms. Dined at the Winston Churchill Restaurant and spent several afternoons in her front bar lounge. In the late 1980s or early 1990s a haunted ship tour was created that provided entrance to the empty boiler rooms and swimming pool. Continuing my Queen Mary dedication I was present for the Queen Mary 2s arrival in New York City. Dating a maid on the accompanied Queen Elizabeth 2 I delivered a bottle of champagne. I went on to sail the QM2 several times from New York to the Caribbean and back and from New York to Rio de Janeiro. Just a further note I have sailed the Queen Elizabeth 3 from Singapore to Dubai. Very thankful to Cunard and to you.

In his book "Famous Ocean Liners", William H. Miller talked about the differences between the Queen Mary and the Normandie: "When the new 81,000 ton Queen Mary was commissioned in Spring 1936, she was looked on as far less innovative, even less glittering than her Gallic rival..one early passenger was to report 'in my opinion, the Queen Mary is a grand English woman in sportswear, and the Normandie is a very gay French girl in evening dress.'"

​@@johnfranklin5277 it is not the minority oppinion as of today, perhaps back in the day when modernism was looked at more favorably and was considdered fresh but no matter what controversy existed from the start either way where it had not existed before, no matter what is said or done modernism remains controversial where as classical artstyles are not (asside from in the eyes of a small academic elite and their meeting places were indeed exclusive where as classical art will always bring memories of massive public artworks that placed both ideas and craftsmanship at the forefront, though indeed these did limit materials that could be used as well as creativity as a whole. I bring this up because it is not a case of absolute hatred vs absolute love but rather which do you prefere, classical or modernist. I do grant that the notion of it being homelike makes sense, even today few homes maintain one style inside, many have different closets, different seats, different ornaments and a myriad of collors often with a hardwood floor and arched doorways giving homes both classical and modernist elements.

Alright, I'm done. Once again, super excited to finally see Part 2 of Queen Mary's story, and I am unspeakable levels of hyped that this series will continue with a Part 3. I had no idea Mary's rivets weighed as much as a smaller ship: forget being specific with a Fletcher-class destroyer. That is just mindboggling to me. It was also really cool to see your animation on how her frame was built, from the keel up. Very informative and just fascinating. And getting her ready for her launch must certainly not have been an easy task: from widening and dredging the Clyde to better fit her immense size, to the stresses her hull must've experienced when she reached that halfway point where part of her was in the water while the rest of her was still sliding down the slipway. I can easily imagine how a ship could break apart like that if not properly built. That took me right back to Titanic when she broke apart while hanging so high out of the water, something no ship is designed for. Hearing that Mary bent upward at that point before flexing back down honestly kinda scares me to drive the point home. When all was said and done, it most certainly had to be a really feel-good moment for everybody when Mary was finally launched, completed, and aced her trials, and I cannot wait to hear about the start of her legendary career with how she matched up against the other liners of the world, being somewhat of an oddball with her more traditional appearance and peculiar layout. Especially her races against Normandie. That'll be a ton of fun. Until then, though, today was not wasted. Solid work. :D 👍👏

Michael, I have to say, this was THE BEST presentation I have EVER seen describing her construction and fitting out! Your graphics showing how the keel, girders, frames and hull plates were assembled and fastened together was absolutely OUTSTANDING! More often, than not, a documentary (especially a youtube video) will never go into this kind of detail. This is true for the traditional media documentaries (TV broadcast, DVD, VHS, etc) that cover this side of her. THE TOPS though, was your digital recreation of her on the slipway and on the Clyde at John Brown! Such a beautiful and very informative video for both the novice fan, as well as the "rivet counter" fanatics! :-)

While it is true that Titanic (and the whole Olympic class by extension) has an enormous popularity thanks to certain events, I find their design to truly stand out as one of the best, of their time and in general. Their outlines were so clean and elegant, you could say "basic" to some extent, but they looked pretty well, nothing crowded, like, let's say the Mauretania. Of course in the end is a matter of taste and is subjective, also is true there are some other truly beautiful liners way less recognized. But the Olympic class was really beautiful.

For example, Strake A Left vs Strake A Right? If so, how? In the same vein, isn't that a bit limited? You could only have 26 strakes. Did any ship exceed that amount, and, if so, how were they labelled? Strake AA? I wonder how much just one of the links for the drag chains weighs. Probably a whole awful lot. An excellent video looking at the Queen Mary. I hope we get videos like these for all sorts of ships! That'd be grand.

I was living near Long Beach California in 1967 when the city bought the RMS Queen Mary. It took them a few years to get her ready for tourists as a floating Hotel and Museum, with replacing the funnels with props, cutting the engine in half to put a walkway through it, removing one propeller to display in the parking lot, and many other modifications. Not to mention building the English village next to it. I went to see her in 1973 as a kid and was hooked. Such an amazing ship. They also had a double decker bus you could ride for 10 cents to The Breakers building in downtown LB and back.

I can't make a purchase without some questions answered first. 🤷‍♂️ Fun fact...once it came time to fit the Mary out a new boiler design than the one originally intended had been chosen. These new boilers were slightly lighter and taken all together her overall weight was reduced. This reduction in her overall weight would help increase her overall speed, however it also esulted in her having ever so slightly less stability...thus leading to her famous nickname "The Rolling Mary". 😁

Thanks for posting such a wonderful and detailed account on the construction of the Queen Mary I can remember seeing the proud lettering (CLYDE BANK) written across the stern of the hulls of all the John Brown built passenger ships.

Could you make a "what if" video on the Oceanic III if she had been allowed to be built? Also it would be nice to see a video about how Normadie was built.
