RUSTING, mildewed and forlorn, the once proud Queen Mary is tied up in a dismal dock far from home.
The only surviving Clyde-built turbine steamer in the world, she is one of the last links to Scotland’s proud maritime and shipbuilding past.
For more than 40 years, TS Queen Mary ferried thousands of passengers doon the watter to holiday resorts such as Largs, Rothesay, Campbeltown and Brodick on Arran.
But since being auctioned off in 2011, she has been left to languish at Tilbury Docks in Essex on the River Thames.
