If you were ever on aboard the old RMS Queen Mary, you might be able to help me.
I am writing a sequel to my book The Titanic Diaries, to be called The Queen Mary Chronicles, and would very much like to hear from anyone who worked or travelled aboard the old Queen Mary between the Thirties and Sixties.
Were you lucky enough to be a passenger on the Queen Mary's maiden voyage?
Was the Queen Mary your ship of choice for making the Atlantic crossing during her heyday, between the Thirties and Fifties?
What was it like to travel on one of the greatest ships of the 20th Century?
Perhaps you were part of the crew, a steward, a boot boy or a lift operator? Maybe you looked after children in the nursery or were a pool attendant? Did you work the switchboard or do the washing in the laundry? The Queen Mary was a huge ship - what was your job?
Perhaps you travelled aboard the Queen Mary when she was a troop ship during the Second World War?
When hostilities had ended, were you a war bride, heading off on the Queen Mary for a new life?
Whatever your story, I would love to hear from you so I can include your tale in my book.
