The Queen Mary Foundation fought not only to preserve the historic Queen Mary, but the right to free speech and due process of law. Citizens who love Long Beach and its natural and historic wonders are being silenced by a court system and city government motivated primarily by short-range, personal gain. It's not just the Queen Mary Foundation's "problem". I invite you to investigate any and all of these cases filed by or against the tenant of the world's most beautiful and beloved 1930s ocean liner.
