Did the Queen Mary sail from the Broomielaw to Campbeltown in the mid sixties ,seem to remember being aboard her then.
The Queen Mary II sailed from Bridge Wharf in Glasgow (where the casino now stands, just downstream from the railway bridge) to Dunoon and Rothesay, then cruised round Bute. That was her exclusive part of the summer schedule for many years. She was re-boilered round about 1972 in preparation for taking over from the Hamilton on longer routes such as down to Campbeltown. So far as I can remember, when she took over the Campbeltown route she started at Gourock just as the Hamilton had done. You can still see her, by the way, in London. Back to her original two-funneled condition, she's now a floating bar/restaurant on the Thames Embankment just upstream from Blackfriars Bridge.
