Haunting of the Queen Mary
Has anyone seen the horror movie Haunting of the Queen Mary? Watched it last night and it was great, bit confusing at times but I enjoyed it They did a fantastic job filming and showing off the Queen Mary, she looked amazing

MS Queen Victoria today in Rotterdam
Not technically an ocean liner, I know, but according to Wikipedia: “Unlike many previous Cunard ships, Queen Victoria is not a traditional ocean liner, as she does not have the heavy plating throughout the hull. However, the bow was constructed with heavier plating to cope with the transatlantic run, and the ship has a high freeboard.”
Much better looking ship than most of the bonkers cruise ships we get here in Rotterdam (anything from AIDA, for instance).

What were the major routes Ocean Liners travelled?
I know the Southampton to New York one was obviously the most famous, with the largest Ocean Liners traversing this route.
But the Southampton, Capetown, Sydney run was also relatively busy.
Any other?
