TS Queen Mary. Tour Part 1

Footage of the Clyde built Turbine Steamer Queen Mary. The original Queen Mary built by Denny's of Dumbarton in 1933.
Recorded on the 29th October 2005 at the Victoria embankment London.
Thankfully this awful blue colour scheme only lasted for 1 year after which she reverted to her normal black/white hull and white upperworks.
She was towed from this berth to a layup berth in Tilbury docks on the 9th November 2009.
Since August 2015 TS Queen Mary is now under the ownership of the Charity, “Friends of TS Queen Mary”, which was formed in 2012 to safeguard the future of TS Queen Mary, the Clyde's last and Britain's finest, turbine excursion steamer.
The TS Queen Mary arrived back in her home waters of the Clyde on the 15th May 2016, following an absence of 26 years. This was after a second career as a floating restaurant on the Victoria Embankment on the River Thames, where she remained until 2009. She had to vacate her berth at the Embankment and she was towed to Tilbury docks where she lay for7 years.
Since then, she has had 2 previous owners and was facing an uncertain future, before being saved by “The Friends of TS Queen Mary”.
Since her return to the Clyde, “The Friends of TS Queen Mary” have already raised £150,000 which will cover the cost of this dry docking, which is the first stage of an estimated £2,000,000 restoration, as a static heritage destination on the banks of the River Clyde, near Glasgow.
On the 9th November 2016 she was moved to her temporary winter layup berth next to the Glasgow Science Centre at the entrance of the much reduced Prince's Dock in Glasgow from a lay-up berth next to the Garvel Dry dock in the James Watt Dock Greenock.
On the 17th August 2017 the Friends of TS Queen Mary announced
that the TS Queen Mary will be moored permanently at the Glasgow Science Centre, where she will serve as a heritage destination and education/training centre.
TS Queen Mary will be berthed "bow on" to the Millennium Bridge, where she will be both connected to the SSE Hydro and SECC complexes and also right in the heart of Glasgow’s media village. In this location, she will welcome up to 150,000 visitors and students each year.

Sailed on her a few times the 50s/early 60s, remember the Jeannie Deans and the Waverly at Largs also. I really hope that she is put back into service again and perhaps the next job should be the restoration of the maid of the Loch happy days.

That blue is truly heinous.

Sailed on her on her last time on the Clyde.
