News, Queen Mary to get $1 million more in repairs ahead of reopening in Long Beach : detailed suggestions and opinions about Queen Mary to get $1 million more in repairs ahead of reopening in Long Beach .
The Long Beach City Council approved $1 million this week to pay for ongoing repairs on the Queen Mary, the latest round of funds meant to restore the aging tourist attraction.
The converted British ocean liner, owned by the city, was in use as a museum, hotel, restaurant and event space before it was closed to the public in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Before the closure, the permanently docked ship was in disrepair and in danger of sinking without urgent maintenance work, inspectors found.
The Queen Mary’s partial reopening, previously set for October, is scheduled for the end of this year.
