Ghost Ship: RMS Queen Mary

Acknowledgements to the following for the images : lifestoriesandmemories.co.uk ; queenmarystory.com; zanzinger.photoshelter.com I have heard several stories about ghost ships, and oceanic hauntings. Just a few weeks ago, an unoccupied Japanese fishing vessel, the Ryou-un-Maru was sunken by the US navy. The vessel had been floating around the ocean after the Tsunami in Japan, and was only laid to rest on the 5th of April this year. How it remained a float so long, through storms and perilous ocean waves, it can not be said. Some think, it was a ghostly crew that kept the vessel a drift, from prying eyes. Similarly, another vessel as grand as the timeless Titanic, and just as haunted, remains afloat within the cradle of  Long Beach, California. The RMS Queen Mary, lies moored in the harbour of this exclusive suburb, unable to wander the oceans like her fellow spirited counterparts. Though the fine lady remains pristine, with her golden features and crystal chandeliers
