Queen Mary

This famous ocean liner serves as a staggering monument to British marine engineering. Scaling the funnel and delving deep into the engine room, Rob finds out how the largest ship of her day could also become the fastest, achieving speeds that few large ships can match 80 years later.

On the passenger decks, Rob savors the Art Deco craftsmanship that made the Queen Mary the much loved “floating gentleman’s club” where Royalty rubbed shoulders with movie stars. Before winning the hearts of two nations, this ship had to survive the force of a freakish rogue wave.
