... Chris-- Well, maybe they can paint those hot tubs Bill showed us with vertical black and white stripes then, so they look like the capstans. ;o) --Michael...
The area would be available to hotel guests and Club QM members. I also envision a couple of "open house" weekends when the entire ship might be open to the...
And I've thought of a good use for the Infectuous Wards. Anyone here ever read Edgar Allen Poe's "A Cask of Amontilado"? Bill ;-> **************Access 350+...
All, I have summarized my findings so far in a pair of photos in the Chris Butler Photos folder. One shows A deck aft with equipment color coded as to status....
Very educational, Chris. Neat seeing Ken's salvaged stuff and your color-coded photo. The angle on that photo really shows how huge that winch was. It makes...
Recall the photo Dubai published of their docking plan for the QE2? See the photo below. There are not planning to use boarding towers, rather they are...
I've assumed that the Queen Mary boarding towers were just 1970's modernism, simply an out of date '70s decoration. I consider them an eyesore and basically...
Bill/ KJ, If one of these service/supply plans we propose for D deck were adopted, the current eyesore that is the HUGE kitchen supply entrance to R deck would...
Well Chris you've certainly managed to put together the lions share of the missing equipment and full credit to you. Its interesting to note that in the...
Actually Michael I love that idea! :-) When the hot tubs have covers on them they would resemble the original docking equipment. The fairleads that were in...
There has been some discussion of using the "footprint" of the winch assembly for items; this area does suffer from being right against the forward bulkhead,...
found this when looking at te ships Wikipedia Page, Heres the link, and by the look of the model what happened to the Queen Mary will be a blessing....

Bill asks some good questions below, and I will try to answer. 1. What is the revenue stream of the QM Tidelands Fund? I have not the foggiest idea. Do you...
That's interesting. Nice model. I thought QE2 was supposed to be lengthened by a new section in the middle? The large windows below the boat deck are pretty...
ya i think the pagefor the model said it was one of three model commisioned by the sips new owners. ether way it shows the effect the piled on decks have on...
Chris, Your drawing adds a new diminsion to the discussion as far as what to practically add for the best use of the area. In light of the evidence so to...
My understanding is that Disney never removed the teak decking when they did their preliminary pool project back there. After they removed the equipment and...
It should be interesting how the QM Engineering Department responds to your proposal Chris. The web site is useful to talk through concepts. Minds may not be...
Here is a fairly recent photo of the wharf scene of the QM. And here is a very rough edit removing the towers. The aft entrance would have an escalator up to...
Here's a later version with a better angle on the aft boarding ramps - but the escalator is still facing wrong. I've inserted the missing lifeboats and covers...
Let's see what happens. I agree it will be instructive. I don't want to pre-judge anything, eespecially because we are entering new territory. Former...
