The Queen Mary, Long Beach

Los Angeles Queen Mary deck (www.free-city-guides.com)

This ship is moored at the end of Highway 710 in Long Beach.  If you’ve ever wondered what the Titanic might have been like, the ship will give you a clue.  The Queen Mary is younger, but she’s a relic of the age of trans-Altlantic crossings and you get to walk around lots of the ship on a self guided tour.  You can’t help feeling that the whole thing could be done better, but we still enjoyed our visit.  The Russian Submarine moored here too is fascinating to explore.   This is an extract from our free Los Angeles City Guide.

    The first (and only) visit to ship I was on vacation
    and determined to see The Queen Mary and the “Spruce
    Goose”. The seaplane since has been towed to another
    location. Both the vessel and seaplane were and are
    worth visiting again and again.

    Wish I might again tour this wonderful vessel.
