Queen Mary Final Transatlantic from New York 1967
The Final Voyage of RMS Queen Mary from New York City.
มุมมอง: 71 927
My family of 5 sailed from France to NYC in October of 1964 on the RMS Queen Mary, I had my 10th birthday aboard and still remember it all
Having grown up in Long Beach, it's so surreal to see it moving lol
Are last old ship in long beach... the Queen mary.
crazy to see a liner such as her sailing in color footage, ocean liners of her own time would only be in black and white usually.
I was a young lawyer at the time and worked in lower Manhatten. Myself and few colleagues went down to Battery Park to watch her depart. The view up the river is blocked by an old building so she was out of sight as she approached but her horns were blaring and we watched as she finally broke into view with an entourage of boats. There was a FDNY fire boat shooting plumes of water high into the air as she passed. It was a magnificent sight as she sadly sailed down the bay for the very last time and the end of an era. Years later I attended a conference onboard when she was docked in California.
I am sooooo glad that I was in the opportunity to visit the Queen Mary in 2003......I saw almost every inch of the ship, from bottom to bridge. A dream came true. At first it seemed almost impossible since I live far away in the Netherlands....
I wonder how long it took before NYC skyline was no longer visible from the stern of QM???
Queen M*ry
At least the ship is not scrapped and is now a floating hotel 😊😊😊😊
She looks like a dream
Is it possible to mourn for an era that was gone before you were even born? Maybe I'm just missing a previous life's experiences.
QUEEN MARY was the second Cunarder that Captain John Treasure Jones commanded on her final voyage. He took MAURETANIA into retirement two years earlier
Richard Parker. I was a Bell-Boy on this floating magnificence in 1961/2. Worked on QE too. Love the video. New York! Transatlantic travel. Such a thrill for a sixteen year old! In the early moments of the video you can just spot a passenger amidships and midway between water level and prom deck waving a goodbye from a porthole!
Ships that look like ships eventhough the hardships of the people who built her at the time
The Queen Mary is a wonderful ship. I heard on a video on here, that she survived a Rouge wave even. She carried 16,000 soldiers or somewhere around that number, on one single trip.
There's a pic of QM with a 70' wave, pretty insane! QM carries 16,200ish troops on a crossing, the most people ever on a ship.
The QUEEN MARY on one crossing during the war had 16,683 troops and a crew of 245(ish). Most humans ever on one ship at one time....for now
She barely survived that rogue wave. It struck the ship broadside and she rolled to 53 degrees. Had she rolled just two more degrees she would have went past the Point of No Return and capsized with the loss of over 15,000 people.... The author of The Poseidon Adventure was on that crossing and took his inspiration for the book from that near fatal wave
Todays ships are gigantic jokes, idiotic, gargantuan examples of the ugliness of excess. No style just bulk.
Right!!!!! The most ugly vessels ever built. You won't be found dead on them!
Among the most beautiful of, Ladies!
The queen mary is haunted btw
Looks the same as the titanic.
GREAT VIDEO!!! THANKS CANT WAIT TO GET ON HER WHEN SHES REPAIRED IN LONG BEACH...
When She got to Long Beach they made a big pile of deck chairs and sold them for 5 dollars apiece. My Pops bought one for each of us kids. I still have mine. It's stamped/branded Cunard Lines on the back. Mom got some sheets and pillow cases as well. They are made quite well and either have red or blue stitching on the hems.
Nice tug escort in nyc harbor! Still s beautiful ship. Too bad they gutted her, never sail again. Nice video thank you.
1:53 JOHN. J HARVEY!!!
Thanks for the memorys queen mary.
cool
Shame that there aren’t much ships like the Mary still in service.
In point of fact there are NONE. Even Queen Mary 2 bares little resemblance to her elder sister inside or out. The last thing even close to Mary was QE2 and SS Norway (previously SS France) and both are now gone the former a hotel in Dubai and the later chopped up for scrap in Alang, India.
Very nice, historic movie.....but choice of music is rather insipid.... this is the 60 th's....
I thought I saw Lucy Ricardo hanging out of the helicopter. She missed another ship!
I've set up a go fund me page for her. She needs lots of repairs folks. But I'm not one to give up. I believe there are those of us who are more then willing to donate and even volunteer time enough to give her the face lift she needs. I sure am. I live only 5.5 miles from her.
She is a buty there is nuthin for better then Queen Mary she is a butyfule site to see
Queen Mary Intrvew review New Tcm Documentary biography more magic made mazes Jackey and scary Mary haunts pool years past
Stayed on her a couple of times.She is a beautiful ship,and I came away from that experience obsessed by wanting to learn everything about her.This is a great video with the perfect sound track.Thank you.👍👍
Today exactly 53 years ago. But a great great movie.👍👍👍
And to think that QE2 was launched just a little more than a month before...
I like the memories
The queen Mary is moving!
Fun fact, the World Trade Center Twin Tower never lived to see neither of the RMS Queen Marys. Was under construction when the first one made her last voyage and was history when the second first arrived in NY.
I enjoy doing the transatlantic crossings on the Queen Mary 2 but nothing beats the original Queen. Wish it was still in service.
Incredible footage
Isn’t that the Golden Gate Bridge at the end of the video? Luxury liners were sleek, graceful and full of class. Today’s cruise ships are just hokey and gimmicky and a place to get sick lol.
An amazing bridge between the 1930’s, the Normandie, World War 2 and today. A true historical gem. Even in 1967, she was a mirror on the 1930’s and seeing those ‘modern’ choppers buzzing around her showed just what an amazing old dowager from another time she was then and still is now. A link back to a time now long lost.
All I can say is thanks for the memories... ;-)
Just a few days prior to this video I, aged 18, was crossing from Southampton to New York on a small tub called the SS AURELIA, chartered by the Council for Student Travel which, in the Summer of Love with 1000 students on board, was nothing if not memorable! During our slow crossing the captain advised us that during the night we had been overtaken by the RMS Queen MARY on her last ever voyage from Southampton to NY. Amazing eh!! Ironically I believe the Aurelia was the smallest ship to do the Atlantic crossing to NY - I think it took us about ten days!
I love this video! After leaving New York for the last time the Magnificent Queen Mary headed back to Southamton for the final good bye then she was on her way to Long Beach.After millions of boats ships ext came to greet the Magnificent Queen into Long Beach and she docked it was an end of the classic Liner era!She was then taken to Lon Beach Naval Ship yard for the conversion and in 1971 she opened to the puplic as a hotel and museum.And sadly in 1968 her sister Queen Elizabeth was with drawed from service!
Actually Queen Elizabeth caught fire in Hong Kong harbour and sank, I sailed on Queen Elizabeth in 1964
it looks like titanic
Luis mella not at all really
She was bigger. Research big liners they have a similar appearance, but not the same. Dont let your love of Titanic stop you from looking at other ships.
Normandie...Queen Mary... les derniers beaux et vrais paquebots avant les abominables HLM flottantes actuelles!
Its......Beauty meets the Size <3 My God....See the fucking size :) Thanx to whoever recorded this video....
When it’s one day before your grandma died
Such a grand lady of the sea. I spent my honeymoon aboard her and it was an absolute dream come true for me, as I never thought I'd get the chance to see her, let alone spend 3 nights onboard.
I stayed a few nights on board recently. She is truly amazing.
