The Queen Mary is a British ship that resembles the structure of the Titanic, though slightly smaller. Still, this is a large vessel that looks impressive. The ship was used between the 1920's until the 60's for commercial transatlantic traveling. For many immigrants, this was the gate to the promised land.
The QM still hasn't lost it charm. The rooms have been remodeled into hotel rooms, but the rest of the structured remained intact. You get the feel of how it must have been traveling three to 5 days over the Atlantic on this big ship. Despite the rocky surface of the ocean, the ship seemed to have a steady course throughout it's journey. Actually, the accommodation of the ship was quite comfortable: you had a bar, shopping stores, a spa, the rooms were cozy, the bar inviting and you even had a gymnasium and outdoor entertainment.
For me, the ship reminded me most of the Titanic. I'd like to believe that some parts of the movie were also shot here but I'm not sure of that. Still, if you look at the pictures, I'm pretty sure you will get the same idea:
PS: the last few pictures were taking in and around the El Segundo High School, a film location for many movie and TV productions.

Queen Mary! I 've always wanted to go there! Did you see any ghosts? I've heard some pretty wild Queen Mary ghost stories.
