BIG as a Town, FAST as a Car! The Insane Engineering of Queen Mary

Today, we explore more stores of this grand ship, including racing across the Atlantic Ocean for the coveted Blue Riband, and turning back the clock all the way to 1930, to explore the construction and beginnings of the magnificent vessel.
