First setting sail in 1936, The Queen Mary served as a World War II troop ship, a luxury liner transporting celebrity guests, and a white-whale chaser before retiring in 1967. The 19th Annual Scottish Festival & Games erupts into a lively celebration of The Queen Mary’s Scottish roots, complete with highland dancing, live music, sheepdog herding demonstrations, and authentic Scottish fare and ales. A parade polinates the air with the reed-heavy drone of bagpipes, and a historical re-enactment dramatizes the plight of rotary phone users. On a return visit, guests can also peruse The Queen Mary’s original staterooms and sun decks, including authentic art-deco built-ins and wood paneling. The Queen Mary historic exhibit further illuminates the legends, terrors, and sordid games of bridge throughout the ship’s storied history.
