If I remember Queen Mary had quite a pronounced forehead foredeck ? & was launched in 1516 & scuppered in 1558
However her legacy of the Bloody Mary is one of my favourite hangover cures..........

Now come on lads, it's photographed on the Thames by a bridge. It's not THE Queen Mary, its an old passenger steamer, river and estuary inshore waters only.
THe "Queen" is massive, it could ship that thing aboard as deck cargo!
This one I believe was a former Clyde passenger turbine steamer called Queen Mary originally, the name being sold to RMS for the new Queen Mary (81,000 tonnes) and this one renamed Queen Mary II thereafter.
Or did you all know that anyway?
The cost of boating is insignificant compared to costs of a young wife and two teenage kids! |

Its lying in Tilbury docks from the auction site. How the hell did they get it back here from Long beach with no engines or boiler. |

I could have sworn that the Queen Mary had three funnels and isn't it moored somewhere like Long Beach as a floating eating place? |

This may be over valued, it will need a current BSS certificate for that starting price. Also I'm used to my Conquest, do you think the headroom will be adequate?  Good find. |
