Queen Mary I and II in Long Beach Harbor Today

[tolivac]

its too bad the engines and boilers were removed-they could have been left in place but decomissioned.they are fascinating peices of equipment for technically minded folks.I like seeing those.Saw the boilers and engines,generators on a Battleship moored in Mobile,Alabama some years ago-also a Submarine named the "Drum" had all of its technical equipment on board.again on both ships those were decomissioned.

Poseiden

Yes,

They did a great homage to the Poseiden Adventure a little over a year ago. Ernest Borgnine, and several others (the director, singer of the theme song, etc.) were there and led a 90 minute discussion after the movie was shown. Lots of great stories were shared.

Many portions of the movie were filmed on the QM.

Mike, was the singer of the theme song Maureen McGovern and was she there in person singing the song? It was titled The Morning After........sounds like a wonderful and fun convention. Would love to attened that on the Queen Mary sometime........is there a web site/fan club for the event?
