Welcome Aboard but Beware!
The Queen Mary is a floating piece of history, full of great stories about her travels. However, some of those
who try to tell these stories are not your usual historians. In fact, they are not even alive - they are ghosts! Yes,
many people believe that the Queen Mary is a haunted ship.
The construction of this 305 metre-long ship began in 1930 in a British shipyard. The Queen Mary made her
first journey as a luxury passenger liner in 1936. As a luxury liner, the Queen Mary hosted many famous people
from royalty to film stars. The British temporarily stopped her passenger service from 1940 to 1946 due to the
Second World War. However, in World War II she served as a transport ship for troops to various military
campaigns. Due to her great speed she was able to outrace enemy submarines. Towards the end of the war, she
also transported 20,000 wartime brides and their babies to the US and Canada. During wartime, the British
army painted the massive ship grey so she could go unnoticed by enemy ships. Hence, she earned the nickname
the ‘Grey Ghost’. At the end of the war, the mighty ship returned to work as a luxury cruise liner until her last
voyage in 1967 to Long beach, California where the British sold her to the Americans. Stories of ghosts on
board were already common and the Americans permanently docked the ship in Long Beach. Today, it acts as
museum and a luxury hotel.
In the past 60 years, the ship has had 49 reported deaths on board. There are reports of as many as 150 ghosts
on the ship, making the Queen Mary one of the most haunted places in the world. Some of the more famous
haunted areas include the ship’s swimming pools, where many visitors report sightings of female ghosts and
sounds of voices and splashing coming from the pool. Various visitors to the ship describe seeing ghost
children in the forward storage rooms. Guests to the hotel often see a beautiful female ghost in a white gown
dancing in the Queen’s Salon. At the bottom of the ship in the engine room there is ‘door number 13’. It was
the site of an unlucky accident where a young crewman by the name of John Pedder died. Door number 13
crushed him and visitors often witness Pedder’s ghost running towards the door and then disappearing. Another
very popular haunted spot on the ship is room B340. An unsolved murder occurred there years ago. Due to the
strange activities that occur in the room, the hotel no longer offers it to visitors.
Chances of seeing a ghost are quite high on the Queen Mary and it is one of the reasons so many tourists visit
the famous ship every year. The ghosts of the past await visitors who dare to board the ‘Grey Ghost' and
