But now RMS Queen Mary needs £16million ($23 million) worth of urgent repairs, her owners say. Court documents filed in California, where the ex-Cunard ship is berthed, warn she could capsize and sink. The Queen Mary has been closed as a tourist attraction for the past year due to Covid and the need for repairs. 'The city’s been trying to get the Queen Mary right for 40-plus years,' Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia said during a press conference last month. In 1967, the Queen Mary began its last voyage from Southampton to Long Beach where it has been a tourist attraction, hotel and a destination for lovers of maritime history until now.
