Did you know that Long Beach outbid New York for the Queen Mary? I came across a 1967 New York Times article today that stated Long Beach dashed NYC's hopes of making the old ship a floating school. Oldtimers may remember this. Those who don't can check out the New York Times article - for $3.95 - at http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40C10FD3F5B107B93C5AB178CD85F438685F9&scp=2&sq=Long%20Beach,%20Calif.&st=cse
