The "Queen Mary”, laid down at John Brown's on Clydebank in 1930 and completed in 1936, was one of the three 80,000 tonne superliners of the 30's. In August 1936 the "Queen Mary" crossed the Atlantic at 30.14 knots westwards and at 30.63 knots eastwards, thus taking the Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic crossing from the "Normandie", who quickly regained the trophy in 1937 until the "Queen Mary" finally retook and held the record until 1952. When the Second World War broke out, the liner was transferred to Sydney, where she was fitted out as a troop carrier for 15,000 soldiers. After the war the "Queen Mary" returned to North Atlantic passenger service. In 1967 the Cunard White Star Line disposed of the ship by selling it to the town of Long Beach, where it has operated as a floating hotel since 1971. This 1:570 scale model features:

•    Structurally detailed hull and detailed decks
•    Detailed superstructures and 28 life boats
•    3 detailed funnels
•    Display stand, decals and flag chart
