Creator's Key Takeaways

in 1942 whilst undertaking trooping duties Queen Mary was hit by a wave estimated to be around 75 ft or 22.8 M tall

the ship took on a 52° list but did manage to write itself and was able to sail back to the harbor

with an estimated 16,000 people on board at the time this could have been a very different story
