The most magnificent ship the world has ever seen. That was march 1936 as the Majestic Mary left scotland where she was built, steaming to southampton for her maiden voyage. The lineage spared no expense constructing the luxury liner. She was in a class all her own. 50 years later she would become just a Tourist Attraction in long beach, california.
