This 21-foot scale model of the Queen Mary is at the Los Angeles Maritime Museum in San Pedro Cal. The second model of the RMS Queen Mary is in the Lane Victory in San Pedro Cal.
I know you have said this many times in this thread, but in the 1972 they did make a movie called the Poseidon Adventure in this movie, it was a story of a older ocean liner about to be retired when it was hit by a rouge wave causing it to capsize . This a appears to be the filming miniature from the movie. I know your going to say it is the Queen Mary and your right. They used the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach CA as the filming location for the exterior shots of the movie. For the special effects scenes they used a miniature that was a exact replica of the Queen Mary just named Poseidon I get that the Poseidon wasn't a real ship but what you have here is a Filming Miniature of from that movie. Awesome Model and shots of it I am glad that the model still exist what you have here is a piece of film making history.
The story of Poseidon adventure in 1972 was actually based on a true story of when the queen Mary hit a wave that if it was just 2 meters bigger it would have capsized her the queen Mary was lucky and only turned 70 degrees over that’s sill a lot but they were Lucky and that’s why the Poseidon looks like the queen Mary because it was based on a true story that happened to the queen mary
The actual story for the film Poseidon adventure was taken from an actual incident that taken place in December of 1942 when a rogue wave hit her causing her to roll 52 degrees another 3 degrees and she would have capsized. So this is why the model see here and like in the movie hence why I too believe this a film prop look like Queen Mary. Probably because it is as they got the inspiration to make the film from this event.
They used the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach as a filming location for the original Poseidon Adventure. This is the model used for that movie. its a replica of the Queen Mary but has Poseidon name. They even covered the real Queen Mary's name with Poseidon for the filming.
An unexpected pleasure to see two Queen Marys (along with some other liners) and to notice the slight differences as one shows the liner pre-Long Beach and the other after she became the Hotel Queen Mary/Poseidon: the enlargement of some upper-deck windows; the staircases added to the bridge front. Too the accompanying music is beautiful and dignified and goes so well with the ladies of the sea shown here..
Thank you Andrew. I was surprised to see the giant model, I had no idea that it was near my home.. The music was something off of the net and I thought it fit well. A nice weekend to you Andrew.
Even though this isn't an accurate and exact model of Queen Mary in her service days, you can still see the hints of her predecessors combined into one ship. (Her unoriginal, pre-WW1 looking design was actually considered a flaw at first) -She has the curved bridge of Mauretania. -She has the bridge wing extensions of Olympic. -She has the bridge "towers" of Majestic. -She has the 3 funnel set up of Berengaria.
This is actually the 21-5 foot long scale model built for the disaster movie THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (1972) from the Queen Mary built to scale. The definitive Facebook page on the making of the disaster genre classic facebook.com/ThePoseidonAdventure1972/?ref=hl
Wrong.This is a model of the queen mary but this model was build for the movie The posidon adventure when they were done with it they sold it to this place. Thats why it says posidon on the back. ;-;

As it may be the filming model for Poseidon Adventure, it is just a repurposed and reused model of the RMS Queen Mary. They are the same ship with different names. Oh, and the Poseidon is a fictional ship.

That is a one off fully lighted custom built large scale filming model created by the Howard A. Anderson Co. - a top level special visual effects company in Hollywood back then. It was produced by Anderson via 20Th Century Fox Film Corporation exclusively for Irwin Allen’s 1972 box office hit motion picture The Poseidon Adventure - it is NOT and never has been a model of the Queen Mary that was “repurposed” for that motion picture.
