Did you work on her or know anyone who did? Possibly Clydesides best known ship. Here is an excellent pictorial record of her construction up close with many photos of workers on site - see if you can recognise anyone.

The QE2 although more modern was only a shadow on the Queen Mary. There has been talk for years that Queen Mary will be coming home from Calefornia where she is used as a Casino and brothel. QE2 was really brilliant but was the last expensive ship built on the Clyde as no one wanted expensive ships as companies like Cunard could buy from Japan or Korea for a quarter of the price albeit without guarentees against rust problems that might result in sinking
