Creator's Key Takeaways

She's frankly my favorite ocean liner, a giant that spawned a series of successes that culminated in the only ocean liner in service today, her namesake, Queen Mary 2.

The speed is dictated by the time necessary to complete the journey at all seasons of the year and in both directions.

The ship's hull had sat empty and rusting on the slipway, unfinished thanks to the Great Depression.

She was a shipbuilding triumph, a win for Britain as a whole and undoubtedly the pride of Scotland.
