RMS Queen Mary

RMS Queen Mary is a British-built ocean liner constructed by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland. She served as Cunard Line's transatlantic express liner between Southampton, Cherbourg and New York from 1936 until her retirement from active passenger service in 1967. After retirement the vessel was permanently moored in Long Beach Harbor, Long Beach, California, where she was converted and operates as a hotel, museum, and convention space. The ship is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and is a member of Historic Hotels of America, indicating recognized historic value and ongoing preservation. The supplied documentary and archival sources for this entry detail the vessel's construction, service history, and long-term role as a tourist attraction in Long Beach (including period postcards and souvenir imagery pairing the ship with nearby attractions such as the Spruce Goose/Hughes H-4 Hercules exhibition). The sources do not provide any eyewitness reports, named entities, investigative findings, or other documentation of paranormal phenomena. Although the Queen Mary is popularly discussed as a haunted site in other materials, those claims are not present in the provided notes and are therefore not recorded here.
