The RMS Queen Mary has seen a lot of history. From being one of the largest luxury liners one could buy a ticket for in England, all the way to being welded and decaying in a dock at Long Beach California. The RMS Queen Mary has seen a lot of diversity in how she’s been viewed as a ship. Sentimentally, and financially. As with all buildings that age and have stories that live and die within them, those stories can have a habit of sliding sideways into the unexplainable variety. I’ve always found it romantic how a building that was seen as modern and opulent, ages into obscurity. Places where once someone dreamed of going as it meant a symbol of success. Then having that building twist into rot. Think of the nicest hotel were the insanely wealthy go. Now picture it 100 years in the future, derelict, cracking, and hollow. The juxtaposition is just amazing.

The Queen Mary is docked in a California town called Long Beach. She arrived in 1967, and has since been bolted to the dock permanently operating as a hotel. The Art Deco style still remains in small occasional places, but it’s a mix-mash of the original opulent Luxury Liner presentation and practical World War II army painted halls with sparse bunks.
There are a lot of different accounts for Queen Mary that come up as strange. From simple ghost sightings to more unique ones that deal with “The Vortex” on the RMS Queen Mary. Paranormal experts who have come to observe the ship seem to semi-agree that the Ladies changing room near the first-class pool has a space that allows for ghosts to enter easily. They call it the “Vortex”. There is a little girl named “Jackie” is rumored to often appear here. Some say she had visited the pool in her prior life and was happiest there. Therefore that’s why she goes to return there.
In 1942, the RMS Queen Mary accidentally sank an escort ship she was sailing alongside near the docks. She sliced through the HMS Curacoa. Killing 239 lives. But sadly due to risk of U-Boat attacks the ship was ordered to power through as she was carrying the 29th Division of American Soldiers.
In another event the RMS Queen Mary nearly capsized at one point during a freak event of a 92-foot wave hitting her from the side. Later it was recorded she rolled 52 degrees, and if she had rolled even 3 more degrees, she would have capsized.
RMS Queen Mary in the mid 00’s to 2010’s was having trouble finding ways to keep the relic relevant to modern audiences. So the ownership of the Queen Mary decided to lean into it’s heritage and highlight the more spooky attributes of the Ship. After all, there were entire rooms and sections of the ship that wouldn’t be interesting if not placed through a tourist trap lens of haunted-spooky tours. Thus was born “Haunted Encounters”. At the time of this publication, these tours have been suspended due to severe funding issues to upkeep the old girl. However, if you’d like to know advertised tour times, check it out here on the Queen Mary's Website.
The RMS Queen Mary isn’t doing so well these days. Even before the 2020 Pandemic the Queen Mary as a hotel wasn’t really firing on all cylinders. Cashflow issues and cost to maintain everything have become the perfect storm during the pandemic. Forced to be closed for over a year as California had some of the more stringent Covid statewide closures, the ship didn’t really have much of a fighting chance since it was on its last legs before the Pandemic.
Honestly very hard to say. While I sentimentally loved visiting the Queen Mary when I was 14, I do not see myself as an adult going to stay there anytime soon. One because, I literally can’t, but two because the last time friends and family paid to stay there a few years back I was told their experience was lackluster and there were better options in the Long Beach area if you’re going to spend that sort of cost per night.
