Names

[edit]

The reason for misunderstanding what the provided souces say is unclear. One very obviously says "The Queen Mary". The other very clearly says the historical names (plural) are "RMS Queen Mary" and "HMT Queen Mary". While I can understand the argument against the "HMT" designation being mentioned in the lede, as the ship held it for only a few years, the repreated attempts to claim in this article that the aforementioned sources support something they obviously don't are as baffling as the "justifications" for them, "repetition" (no), "the ship only had one name" (not quite), and "only one person is adding this" (so what?).

Use in The Poseidon Adventure

[edit]

Someone should mention that the ship was used for exteriors in the 1972 20th Century Fox motion picture The Poseidon Adventure, and that the ship's interior structure was used in the Paul Gallico novel as well. (Gallico had been aboard the Queen when it nearly capsized in 1937, which would inspire the novel.) ~2025-37144-06 (talk) 05:42, 5 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
