RE: Long Beach City Regains Control of Queen Mary and Authorizes Repairs July 23-Aug. 5

“I am from Italy and I was on the Queen Mary to sleep in September 2013 …. it looked beautiful and really well cared for …. if they decided to sink it or scrap it, it would be terrible. Please, repair it and let it live for at least another 100 years….
