She's looking pretty damn good for a 90 year old lady. And I'm sure the Queen didn't realize how true her words would be. Like the RMS Aquitania, Hull #534 went on to have a successful life.

I was fortunate enough to attend many of the events that happened on the Queen Mary yesterday for her anniversary. It was so grand to hear so many speak so lovingly about the past, present and future of this glorious ship. Long Beach and Evolution Hospitality are doing a remarkable job. From Steve Caloca’s speeches you could tell he obviously loves this ship very much. I got to watch the reveal of the Royal Standard (reproduction) in its proper place! I am very excited about the future plans and look forward to enjoying her beauty for decades to come.

So John Brown & Co signed a $30,000,000 contract in 1934 to build No534, which in todays money is $704,767,164.18

@AlextheHistorian Час назад
Actually they signed the contract in 1930, during the Great Depression, so I'm sure that changes the conversion of the money quite a bit.

It's supposed to be haunted by lots of Ghosts is it not ? Well according to the late Derek Acorah anyway !
@AlextheHistorian
@AlextheHistorian Час назад
It's marketed that way yes. I've been there myself and my friends are there very frequently, they report some areas that feel a bit creepy, the odd sight or sound. But it's not haunted the way they market it as. There is no little girl "Jackie" in the pool, or a vortex to the afterlife in the changing rooms. If it's haunted, it's haunted by the many happy spirits that briefly called the ship home during their voyages.

@AlextheHistorian
@AlextheHistorian Час назад
To be fair, it wasn't our country that saved the Queen Mary. It was a California city that was desperate to become a major tourist town, they put up money for it generated from the oil fracking they do. So it wasn't even taxpayer dollars. To save the SS United States, it would have taken the actual government and actual taxpayer dollars, and there was no guarantee that the ship would have opened as a successful attraction.

Why are you bashing titanic and them? You're trying to make the queen mary seem better why do you always do that and then watch your going to get all mad at me now that im telling you this and also stop using the queen mary carried troops and survived ww2 against the ss us and titanic like if the ss us was in a war she would probably carry troops and survive but if you were to say that you would be like "i dont think ss us would survived" I thought in that comment you said you would stop saying every ship is better than titanic its extremely disgusting and again your doing what you hate this is the 3rd time i called you out and i just know your going to be very hostile in your response also or you will think im trying to get a rise out of you Also if i was rude before sorry but what your doing is very hypocritical just please stop #calloutculture

Jack, I'm honestly not mad. But if you don't stop harrassing me I will have to hire a legal team to sue you. Every time you make a new account, I ask them to check if the account is yours, and they are quickly able to tell me. They know who you are, they know where you live. I'm asking politely. STOP HARRASSING ME PLEASE and go live your life to the fullest it can be, drop the negativity and go live a positive life away from me forever. Let me remind you, it is a crime in the US and the UK to harrass people the way you've harrassed me for 2 years.

@AlextheHistorian this is why I was scared to even comment anything in the 1st place im not jack I have never heard of him How am I bieng negative by saying how I feel you literally always use queen mary carried troops against other ships you always say titanic is not as great as queen mary is can literally send you the links if you don't belive me and why did you delete your last stream and what if some of those accounts like mine are not his do you realize that you are basically tracking random people based on what you think and you cant really disagree with that also check when my account was created you will see it's not new Lastly when I 1st commented I was always nice I literally said I like brisk tea in the streams was jack like that I've only commented on a few of you videos actually only 3 or 4 did jack comment that little Also i understand if mabye i came off as a but extremely and im sorry for that but I'm telling you im not jack

@chestnutpie1196 You take offense to literally everything I say, Jack. I could say "It's a nice day today" and you would write me multiple comments about how hypocritical I am.

@@chestnutpie1196 Yes, you asked me to tell you what I think is wrong about you. But the thing is, I'm not like that. I don't criticise people. I couldn't tell you what I dislike about you, even if I tried, because that's not who I am. That's not the person I've ever wanted to be. I understand that you want to express your opinion. But you could be nicer about it. You know? When I post a new video or a new stream, eventually, at some point in the conversation, you start being incredibly negative about me. And yes, it's ok to feel that way but you have to understand that when you cross a line, there are consequences. You can cause trouble for yourself if you cannot control the things you say. I DON'T want to sue ANYONE. That's not me. But I will have to. I have been to THERAPY because of you. I have stayed awake at night over and over, because I worry if you're gonna be on my live stream the next day telling me why you despise me so much! I get that you're frustrated about what I say about Titanic, but you need to understand that in this world, people will say things you don't agree with. And sometimes you just need to let it go. It's not worth picking apart and getting into situation like this one. You probably feel like you didn't try to start an argument. Ok I get that. But the result is that it became an argument. I accept your apology on the condition that you just leave me alone. That's ALL I ask. That's the only thing I ask...leave me alone forever.
