The book reads: The quality of the Mary's design and her sheer size made her a favourite for tansatlantic passengers in the age before jet travel. By the mid-1960s, however, retirement was imminent and the Mary was purchased by the City of Long Beach as a floating hotel and tourist attraction. She survives today and is still as beautiful as the day she was launched. In peacetime, RMS Queen Mary was the grandest ship afloat-she was THE ship to be seen in and was one of the most luxurious. Built in Scotland and fitted out with the best of British materials, she was, and still is, a masterpiece of British craftsmanship. First edition. Fine.
