The Queen Mary, Long Beach (must see)
The Queen Mary, also known as the RMS Queen Mary, is one of the most iconic sights in Long Beach. This ship has a history as a luxury cruise vessel that initially entered service in 1936. The Queen Mary has been docked in Long Beach since her retirement in 1967.
This ship is open for tours, including tours that allow visitors to see the boiler rooms and related areas below the waterline. Tours that cover the ship's past, including her time as a World War II troopship, are popular, as is the exhibit about the ship's most famous regular passenger, Winston Churchill.
The RMS Queen Mary also has a special place in the hearts of paranormal enthusiasts. Tours about the ship's reported hauntings are always exciting for visitors.
You might be able to take part in a seance where you can communicate with the spirits. Consider taking part in a special dinner reminiscent of the ship's "glory days". Take a tour along the ship's passages that passes through all the "hot spots" where hauntings have occurred.
Why You Should Visit:
A true icon, this ship has a history that is unlike that of any vessel currently in use.
Unique paranormal-themed experiences will open you up to a whole new take on history.
Tips:
There are four gift shops where you can find souvenirs and other items, with two in the Main Hall and two on the port side.
