RMS
Queen Mary is a retired ocean liner
that sailed primarily in the North
Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for
the Cunard Line (known as Cunard-White
Star when the vessel entered
service). Built by John Brown &
Company in Clydebank, Scotland,
Queen Mary along with her running
mate, the RMS Queen Elizabeth, were
built as part of Cunard's planned
two-ship weekly express service
between Southampton, Cherbourg, and
New York City. The two ships were a
British response to the superliners
built by German and French companies
in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Queen Mary was the flagship of the
Cunard Line from May 1936 until
October 1946 when she was replaced
by Queen Elizabeth. The vessel also
held the Blue Riband from 1936 to
1937 and then from 1938 to 1952 when
she was beaten by the new SS United
States.
