The RMS Queen Mary was a British-flagged ocean liner of the Cunard Line that sailed the North Atlantic from 1936 to 1967. Together with her slightly larger and younger sister ship, the RMS Queen Elizabeth, she was designed to serve the Southampton–New York route. She also served as a troop transport during the Second World War. Retired from service in 1967, she has since been moored in Long Beach, California, where she operates as a museum and hotel, particularly catering to enthusiasts of the paranormal. Known as the “Grey Ghost” due to her wartime colour scheme, the Queen Mary also has a notable record of accidents, illnesses, and deaths aboard. Two frequently reported apparitions are that of a young girl who broke her neck in the swimming pool, seen searching for her mother and a doll in that area, and of a young crew member, John Henry, crushed in one of the engine rooms while attempting to escape a fire. This model is part of the Nautical and Aeronautical Collection of the Museum of Angra do Heroismo.
