In 1983 I visited the Queen Mary at Long Beach as part of a holiday with my family. After a general look around, we took the two offered tours: Engine Room and Deck/Navigation. This latter tour was boring as bats**t and most of the participants, like us, wandered off leaving the US deckie rambling on to himself. On the other hand, the Engine Room Tour was good. Mind you, I'm biased here, but even my two girls (17 & 10) were fascinated by the old haggis-basher engineer's description and tales. Nobody wandered off from his tour!
