Queen Mary

This grand cruise ship hasn’t sailed since the 1960s; these days, it multitasks as a rather muddled tourist attraction, several eating and drinking spots (the bar is a wonderful Art Deco glory) and a hotel. The boat, built in 1936, still looks stately from afar, but it hadn’t aged gracefully in every aspect: It was due for millions of dollars in repairs to prevent it from capsizing. After an extended closure, the renovated ship—now under full control of the City of Long Beach—is once again offering tours ($10) and slated to start overnight stays again soon.
