More of LA - The Queen Mary

It has been an amazing time ....

The Queen Mary .... the "Grey Ghost"  not only the Queen Mary was a cruise liner ... but during the World War II she transported over 750,000 US troops from New York to London. 

The stories and myths behind the great ship.  Went on the "Haunted tour".  The tour was a little made up ... but some areas of the ship I could feel a presents in the first class pool and some of the hall ways.  Story of a little girl that swims in the pool ... but there is no water in the pool and the hearing of wet feet going from the pool to the dressing rooms.

 
 


 
..no words needed

 
The Bridge

 
the first class pool

 
The engine room

The massive pistols that move the rudder

 
 
"Im the king of the world"!!!


 
Anti Aircraft gun ... there were 4 of these while in service

 
1 of the 4 propellers
 
 
This looks like an island of the coast ...its actually an oil derrick ... they have heaps these

 
the old home of the Howard Hughes "Sproose Goose"...it moved from here during the 1990's... I will try and see it Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, USA.
