Moving away from the zoo, here I explore the Queen Mary, one of Britain's most famous and successful passenger liners, which entered the world in the glamourous 30s, transported troops in the Second World War, then was the passenger's favourite until the 60s, when transatlantic air travel became more popular. Retired in 1967, the ship now lies permanently docked in Long Beach, California, near Los Angeles, as a hotel and visitor attraction.
