RMS Queen Mary: 101 Questions and Answers About the Great Transatlantic Liner

Queen Mary is one of the most famous ships in the world for all the right reasons. At the time of construction she was the largest ship yet built in Britain and went on to break the record for the fastest Atlantic crossing not once but twice. After wartime service carrying up to 16,000 US troops to Europe at a time, she eventually retired to Long Beach, California. There she remains, a reminder of a bygone era, and a celebration of the golden age of the transatlantic liner.

In this fascinating book, Queen Mary expert, historian and documentary maker David Ellery answers all the questions you might have about this glorious ship - and ones you might never have thought of to ask. His unique Q&A approach covers everything from the ship's design, construction, engineering and interior fittings to her naming, legends and more.
