The Scottish ship that helped save the world from the Nazis
Resting regally on the coast of Southern California in Long Beach is an extraordinary Scottish work of art and masterpiece of engineering. It is by far the largest work of skilled craftsmanship in the United States that hails from Glasgow – a brilliant floating statue in America forged from the hardened hands and creative minds of industrious Scots. It is more than a moored ship in a harbour, it is a beautiful expression of what Scottish innovation, engineering, and construction has produced. It is a crowning jewel of achievement for Glasgow, it is the regal RMS Queen Mary.
