The story of the "Queen Mary", once the world's largest and fastest ocean liner. Put into service in 1936, she soon captured the imagination of the public on both sides of the Atlantic, and came to represent the spirit of an era that was characterized by elegance and style.

Weighing over 81,000 tons and spanning over 1000 feet in length, the "Queen Mary's" might and power remained equally impressive in times of war and peace.
