The claim that Queen Mary could briefly sprint 38+ knots during times of danger, was also stated in the book “Queen Mary Her Early Years Recalled” by Ron Winters. Some collectors say that abstract logs from the war can list the ship traveling 38 or more knots for a brief period.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a University-educated historian, Alex the Historian was a nickname I got while working at Disneyland as a tour guide. After 6 years of using it as a stage name for my channel, it would be detrimental to the channel to suddenly change the name.
