About the Haunted Queen Mary
During her years at sea, the art deco Queen Mary captured the imagination of
the public and came to represent the spirit of an era that was characterized
by elegance and style. Then, during World War II, Queen Mary served as a
heroic troop carrier nicknamed "The Grey Ghost." Built on the Clyde by
Scottish craftsmen, the ship is recognized throughout the world as the last
surviving ship of the Golden Age of transatlantic travel. Now permanently
docket, yet still afloat, her operation and preservation are entrusted to
the RMS Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public benefit
corporation. Located at the south end of the 710 Freeway in the Port of
Long Beach, the Queen Mary has emerged as a favorite attraction, hotel
meeting facility, world-class dining and entertainment destination - and one
of the world's most haunted sites.
