In Long Beach AFL CIO Maritime Trades Department members protest the Queen Mary fate arguing she remains a ship or barge rather than a building. Ten pickets march while 16 craft workers walk off duties at the Cunard liner conversion site near the pier.
Long Beach city officials opened four sealed bids for the Queen Mary liquor stock found in the retired ocean liner. The inventory listed thousands of bottles of champagne wine and multiple fifths of whisky with hundreds more items. A single firm bid of 8269 dollars was received for the entire stock, with partial parcel bids also to be considered. The Queen Mary remains a floating museum and convention center while liquor commerce awaits city import rules.
