I was was cleaning out a storage closet and came across this item. There are some shipping lines that I don't know much about. It looked like C.P. operated...
Hi All, Many here may recall the discussion when Bill posted a photo showing glass panels from the 2nd class staircase installed in the Chelsea recently. These...
The Glass appears to have been cut down to fit the Chelsea display. For comparison: http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2195934760055338351hOEJKc Pandora only...
I can't imagine removing anything original that has been in place since 1936. How can Long Beach allow this to happen? So much has already been lost or...
... Are you saying that they appear cut because the original central blank panels are angled on one end, and on the Chelsa display, the middle one is now...
... Hi Michael, I'll have to take my tape measure down there with me, But the reason I think the Chelsea panels look cut is because the glass that is still...
... Â Hi kj-- Â Part of that could be that the Chelsea shot is head-on, and the stairwell shot is more oblique with foreshortening, but I agree there is a...
Hi KJ, My initial thought was the photo was taken in the Ballroom. The reason was the location of the two big structural stanchions and a curved design on the...
Hi Jeff Could be Lizzy... Also, I'm not sure exactly when the Queens began hospital duty, on westbound crossings predominately, but I think it was well into...
Sean,  I see you've loaded some of the photos you took on your recent trip to the QM. I noticed one with paint spattered on a column to look like blood.  ...
KJ, Â Oh, I couldn't really tell you why I wouldn't go transatlantic on the Queen Victoria other than that in my mind I somehow just don't put her with that...
Fair enough... as she doesn't have a transatlantic "season" like QM2 does. Though, she does handle well, and hasn't really burried her nose. Looking closer at...
Unless that piece of wood below the panels that have been installed in the Chelsea conceals more of the glass, they have definitely been cut. Those are...
A comment I received on the ?"Titanic" comes to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee from a knowledgeable person?I forwarded the web site. "Now isn't this interesting?.? A...
... Â Now "Ink n Iron"Â will probably even switch! Â ... From: wcyclops@... <wcyclops@...> Subject: Fwd: [queenmary] "Titanic" comes to Pigeon Forge,...
I doubt "Ink & Iron" would care to go to "Titanic: Pigeon Forge" but I'm sure even if they wanted to they would be turned away in a heart beat. The people...
... Of course. But, comparitively speaking, with all the criticisms against her,QV passengers would probably have a more comfortable ride than QM in similar...
The groups' photo albums has a new album "Deck Re-Dec" showing the loss of the linoleum decking and the installation of new carpet in the hotels B-Deck...
Prior to the photo history in the below message, can anybody tell us the post-Long Beach arrival of QM's busses? How long did they stay in Long Beach? kj...
KJ, I don't think it's as bad as you make it sound. It's not what I would have picked and it does conflict badly with the floral carpeting (it is floral,...
Hi Baxter, I think it is as bad as it sounded ;) It is industrial-grade carpet... not to be found in any "luxury" interior let alone anywhere near a historic...
The original postwar linoleum was in a relatively simple design. I've always felt that if carpet was deemed necessary in the hotel section as a way to cut down...
Hi KJ, Indeed it looks like commercial office carpeting that they used to make the runner part. The center part is obviously leftover from what RMS did a few...
KJ, I've just added a few things in this folder too including a pic of an original Observation Bar Sofa in Sir Winstons. As folks will see, the back and sides...
