To-do list for RMS Queen Mary: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2024年02月25日


There are no active tasks for this page

The are plenty of missing pieces in the discussion of the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Among the topics that should be added or expanded are:

  • There is only a brief mention of the Disney years and their proposed theme park expansion in the Trivia section. This should be moved up as a subsection of the Long Beach section and expanded.
  • The Wrather Corp. era
  • The lawsuit between the city of Long Beach and the RMS Foundation
  • The lawsuit(s) between the Foundation and minority investors
  • More on the Spruce Goose, and especially more on the dome that remained (use for filming, proposed uses, etc.)
  • some information on the collection of tourist shops next to the queen Mary
  • some more info on the special events on or next to the Queen Mary (the Halloween attraction: Queen Mary Dark Harbor, the Scottish festival, etc.)
  • the current article has nothing on the short-lived Jacques Cousteau museum.

Use as a filming location and Depictions in media

[edit ]

Not only was the Queen Mary used the in film Poseidon Adventure, but the novel the film is based on was inspired by a voyage the author took on the ship in 1937 that encountered heavy seas. Other films & TV shows have used the film as a location. The ballroom is constantly showing up as setting for period pieces set in the 30s thru the 60s that need an art deco location. The pilot episode of 'Arrested Development' also used it.

The ship as itself has shown up in many films, like Dial M For Murder (1954). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8000:7800:9F15:3C31:822D:85D0:E82E (talk) 20:15, 12 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Operators of the ship have declared bankruptcy

[edit ]

The operator of the Queen Mary have declared chapter 11 bankruptcy, I feel like this should be mentioned in the article however I wouldn't be able to myself. https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-01-20/queen-mary-bankruptcy-hotels-eagle-hospitality-trust 87.75.84.128 (talk) 16:16, 21 January 2021 (UTC) [reply ]

Names

[edit ]

The reason for misunderstanding what the provided souces say is unclear. One very obviously says "The Queen Mary". The other very clearly says the historical names (plural) are "RMS Queen Mary" and "HMT Queen Mary". While I can understand the argument against the "HMT" designation being mentioned in the lede, as the ship held it for only a few years, the repreated attempts to claim in this article that the aforementioned sources support something they obviously don't are as baffling as the "justifications" for them, "repetition" (no), "the ship only had one name" (not quite), and "only one person is adding this" (so what?). ₪ MIESIANIACAL 15:47, 13 October 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

Coal or oil?

[edit ]

It was not if coal or oil used for energy. Is this obviously already everyone knows, but maybe don't now. FairfieldAve (talk) 01:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

I haven't it obviously which. I looked at other pages. FairfieldAve (talk) 16:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
