RMS Queen Mary is a retired ocean liner that sailed primarily in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line (known as Cunard-White Star Line when the vessel entered service). Following Queen Mary's permanent docking in California, the ship became a subject of haunting rumours. Since the 1980s, this supposed haunting has figured significantly into the marketing and promotion of the ship, with various attractions and tours presenting the theme for visitors. The ship was voted "one of the top 10 most haunted places in America" by Time Magazine in 2008. In particular, Cabin B340 (formerly Cabin B326, prior to the ship's refitting after World War II) is alleged to be haunted by the spirit of a person who was murdered there, and people have reported hearing sounds of children playing in the nursery. Other reported ghosts include a young sailor who was accidentally killed in the ship's engine room, crewmembers of the Curacoa who were killed when Queen Mary collided with her, and an unidentified "lady in white". At least one book has been written on the subject.
All told, at least 49 crew and passengers are known to have died during the Queen Mary's service as a luxury liner. Although many reported hauntings are supposed to be the ghosts of drowning victims, the ship's logs do not record any instances of passengers drowning. Approximately 75% of the deaths were crew members, and about 25% were passengers. It is unknown how many servicemen or POW's died aboard the Queen Mary during her stint as a troop transport ship in World War II; these records are housed by the US military and have not been released.
