Time for complete disclosure. In a recent post, I stated that I joined this group to learn and share. That much was true. What I didn't reveal was that this ...
I have to agree with PB. I thought this would be a fun group to join where I could talk with others who share my interest but all I've seen here is bickering....
Why do we love the Queen Mary? I have always had a fascination for ships and being from the Piedmont of the Carolinas this interest might seem an unusual one....
Wow, Most of the 3rd Class playroom seems to still remains on the ship. It makes you wonder if the paneling might be in a dusty stack somewhere on C or D Deck...
Sean, You are correct, it and the adjacent synagogue are great possibilities for re-installation. And they are or were on the route of the guided tour of the...
Seeing these rooms restored in situ would be a ... This is true. The third class public rooms are all right there around that staircase one on top of the other...
Sean, The work on the Travel Bureau was done in stages - and it still isn't 100%, but it very much "resembles itself." The carpenters polished up the paneling...
Hi Steve! Shoot me an e-mail (I'd e-mail you, but I'm not sure if the one Yahoo gives is a shared account or not!). --Jim ... A-Deck Lounge, then it would fit...
I just saw an episode of "Keeping Up Appearances" that features the QE2. It looks like it was filmed in the early 1990s when Cunard was owned by the...
The HOLY artifacts from the Scroll Room, as I understand, are in the keeping of a local Long Beach synagogue, where they are treated with reverence...and I...
The third class public rooms might be a good place for the SSHS to make a very positive impact on the QM. The have already helped with displays in the third...
I don't see the Scroll Room/synagogue as some interdenominational venue. It is an IMPORTANT part of the history of the Queen Mary as a Jewish place of worship....
For far too long just about everyone--from ship lovers to the citizens of Long Beach--has put aside any natural inclinations to be critical of the Queen Mary...
Hi PB, As far as I am aware it isn't possible to split the group like that, and I think anyone new joining us might end up joining both anyway, so I'm not sure...
By the way, if you really do have all these resources available and if you truly care about the Queen Mary and its restoration and preservation, it seems to me...
Let's be under no illusions, the Queen Mary is a very contentious subject; much is at stake now for her future and many mistakes have been made in the past,...
Chris, Bill, Are the mail handling spaces forward of the 3rd Class Cinema and Lounge being used for anything right now? I could see this being a great place to...
Here's a recent article about the Harland & Wolff-built White Star Line tender for Olympic and Titanic that also served the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth at...

It is excellent that the Trust responsible for the Nomadic are seriously considering all of the options and looking at professional models like the SS Great...
As regards SSHSA getting involved with a restoration effort for the scroll room and adjacent 3rd class areas, I can not speak for their board of directors....
I am very interested in the Yarrow Project. If it does get off the ground, how will it be achieved? How many boilers will be recreated? One, two, six? Will...
In light of all the good discussion here about what to do with what is left of the Queen Mary, I thought some of the lyrics to the song "Live for Life" that...
I also meant to say I thought it very striking to have her sing "Come with me to where the laughter rings and drowns the pounding sounds of guns and war....
Two thoughts: 1) I would suggest *donating* the room to a local Jewish congregation for weekly services or whatever, with some kind of arrangement whereby ...
I don't know all the details, Tom, but they've got a couple of videos on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tOfaR0rIGI --Jim ... ground, ... full size? ...
One more idea, and then I'll be quiet: The mail handling space might alternatively be used as an exhibit about Jewish emigration in the 1940s and the role...
Chris, Thanks for your response. If the operator is willing, I know a few folks that would certainly be willing to help get the ball rolling :-) Is the...
