The R.M.S. Queen Mary spent three decades transporting the rich and famous across the Atlantic before retiring in 1967.
She survived the Great Depression and World War II and managed to avoid the tragic fate of her cousin, Titanic. But under the glitz and glamour, this haunted ship is hiding several dark secrets. She offered all the finest amenities: exquisite dining rooms, swimming pools, daily radio broadcasts, a kennel for the passengers’ dogs, a children’s nursery — even a hospital. And she was fast. Boasting a top speed of 32 knots, she could travel from England to New York in four days.
At the outbreak of World War II, the famed ocean liner became a military transport ship, hauling between 5,000 and 15,000 soldiers across the world. And that’s when things took a dark turn. At least 47 people died aboard the Queen Mary during her time at sea.
The ship is reportedly haunted by over 100 spirits, and paranormal activity is so frequent and intense that some members of the crew refuse to go inside.
This haunted ship holds as much evil as it does hope now. Marred by war, neither time nor renovation can bury the dark secrets of the R.M.S. Queen Mary.
