I've just been looking through a website which compares the Queen Mary as originally designed and how it appears today.
The butchery of some of the interior spaces is terribly sad. I do hope in the near future that an extensive restoration occurs on the ship. What, for example, is the point of having exhibitions of certain rooms decks away from their original location?!! Ridiculous.
I fully appreciate that these things cost money but really, as a listed monument it is regrettable that so much of this poor ship has been gutted, reshaped, insensitively commercialised and destroyed forever. Tragic.
