First, a look at the room. When the ship was retired in 1967, the First-Class cabins were selected for conversion into the hotel section of the ship, while the Second and Third-Class cabins were were demolished or converted for office use by hotel staff. A First-Class cabin when the ship was in service went for the modern day equivalent of around $10,000 USD, today it goes for $300 for a double suite.

Also fun fact, that fan does in fact, not work.

Stepping outside of the room, we are greeted by the Ticketing Bureau office. When the ship was still in service, this office would be where passengers would go to arrange transfer to rail, air, or even other ships once the ship docked. I'll be returning later when the room is open to give you a better look inside.

The B-427. A Foxtrot-class submarine built in 1971 for service in the Soviet Pacific Fleet. Upon the dissolution of the Union, the aging submarine was declared surplus to the Russian Navy's requirements and retired in 1994, shortly thereafter it was purchased and moored alongside the Queen Mary as a tourist attraction for the better part of 20 years before the museum closed in 2016 and the ship fell into near complete disrepair (still in better shape than the Admiral Kuznetsov though). Today, it lies abandoned with the gates welded shut to discourage the curious from boarding. The City of Long Beach has spent years trying to get rid of the submarine, not just because of its unsightly appearance but, because it would seriously damage the Queen herself if it were to capsize. So far however, its remains in place.

I actually visited the B-427 in 2012, a few years before its closure, but that's a story for another time.

It's seen better days. The restoration is still very much an ongoing effort. The dummy funnels in particular were in bad shape. Turns out they haven't been fully repainted since they were installed in 1970.

The City of Long Beach has been trying to get rid of it pretty much since it closed in 2015, the problem is like a great many things, a matter of money.

At one point, a Russian businessman who had been a Soviet Navy sailor was supposedly looking into buying the submarine and but I guess that plan fell through.

My guess is that the sub probably could be restored, but I highly doubt anyone with the interest has the money to do it. Not to mention that the sub's association with the Soviet Union will likely become a political barrier in the future.

The only surviving lifeboat (the two motor launches are still on display near the bridge however). All of the others had rotted to the point where they were literally falling apart and their weight was actually starting to warp the steel hull. They were removed and scrapped in mid-2022 before the ship reopened.

Interesting thread. I grew up and live nearby. I went on a school trip in like 3rd grade and I went on another tour when we had family in town. I always thought it was boring as fuck and I was always more interested in the tourist trap stores nearby.
In 2006 I went to a concert on the queen mary called Float the Boat. pic related. It was a really fun night.
Not long after that is when TWIC came out. The main TWIC office was in some shitty building down by the queen mary. I remember the submarine but I cant remember if I actually went in it or if I just walked though some small museum area. I do remember russian music being played.
I say scuttle the queen mary and the submarine. Make them diving attractions.

Well it doesn't really do the regular cruise routes most of those people would do.

It's got a few 2-7 night cruises in Europe, but most of its cruises are, then it has a 9-night trans-Atlantic trip (Southampton to NYC), and then longer trips (up to a 111-116 night full world tour for as low as $38,100).

Oh and they also have a dress code for dining, and they WILL make you eat in your room if you don't have proper attire.

So tldr; it's nothing like a carnival cruise.

Unfortunately the engine rooms were very dark and fucked with the setting on my camera a lot so there's not that many usable pictures.

The lone surviving propeller. According to the tour guide, they actually get very mad when your throw money down there. Apparently the last time they had a diver clean it out, they found over $2000 USD in change

I hope you guys enjoyed this thread. It's been up for a whopping 482 days (so long that the image previews don't work anymore wtf) and I figured that it should make way for a new one and I should send it out with a bang.

Thanks all of you for bumping and keeping it alive. Unless any of you have questions about the Queen Mary or just want to chat, I'll let this thread go into the archives. Until next time frens.

OP signing off

your photos somehow look like you've taken them on film; color is warm but the quality is excellent
what model of camera is that?
some of these look like you've taken them 30, 40 years ago
I enjoyed browsing, thank you OP

>>1938375
No way!

>>1938375
cool ship. is this supposed to be like a replica of the titanic or something?
also holy fuck this thread is over a year old!

>>2032362

No, it's got nearly twice the gross registered tonnage. If you hollowed out the Queen Mary, you could literally fit the Titanic inside it.

>>2032384
what about the SS United States

>>2034976
What about it?

>>2026893
Fuck that looks good

>>1938386
I wonder how well those propellers turn now

>CO2 bottles?
nice, show more anon.

>>2010028
is this boat from the queen mary 2?

>>2016985
good old brass telegraphs

what's the difference between this thing and the SS United States? they all look the same to me

Really cool comfy thread OP. Thanks for sharing

>thread is like 2 years old
I've visited the Queen Mary many times but never stayed in any of her rooms
Where I've always wanted to visit next is the Battleship USS Iowa which is also at the port of Long Beach. Any of you anons have experience visiting and know if it's worth it?

>>2043198

about 15 years of technological advancement and the advent of reliable transatlantic air travel. Also 2 funnels vs 3.

>>2043281
It’s worth it if you are already on the west coast. If you are on the east coast, go see the New Jersey instead.

>>2051954
>>2043281
But the New Jersey doesn't have the same history

>>2039697

Only one propeller is left (the others were removed when the ship was decommissioned) and it's basically permanently stuck in place.

>>1938375
just found this thread OP, i didnt look through it yet but i can see its quality
gonna look at it tomorrow because it sso late already, thanks, ive been really interested in the QM

>>2054639
It was used to lob 1900 pound shells at a renowned wine producing region of lebanon in the 1980s
