Did you know?

Question

That the 'RMS' Queen Mary wasn't the first vessel to be called that. Not long before her launch in the 30's , the original vessel by that name was a Clyde Steamer. Her owners agreed to suffix her name to 'Queen Mary 11' to allow Cunard to name their ship. This old passenger vessel is lying in the Thames as a disco bar and conference centre. Moving forward some 70 years or so , the brand new Cunard ship is called , yes , you've guessed it , MS Queen Mary 2.
