Best Answer

The Queen Mary does not have any engines or propellers fitted any more. She still floats however, and the condition of her hull is still considered to be in pretty good shape.

It is however almost inconceivable that she would ever return to sea due to the issues of re-engineering her and making her compliant with the latest regulations, not to mention the cost!

The issue of cost and re-engineering is not the bulk of the reason for not returning her to sea. When the ship was sold to Long Beach, part of the agreement between the city and Cunard was that the ship would never be able to run as a commercial sailing ship again. This is primarily why the propellers and engines were first to go when the ship was being converted to a hotel/museum.

Where was Queen Mary you burial?

I assume you are referring to British Monarchs. Queens Mary I ( died l558)- of the Tudor line)- and Mary II ( died l694) are both interred in Westminster Abbey. Consort Queen Mary ( l867-l953) lies buried in the Saint George's chapel of the Windsor Castle complex. She is sometimed, but not correctly, styled Mary III, but was a consort ( spousal) not a regnant Queen. If Camilla is still alive when Elizabeth II passes on- she , too will be crowned- with her Husband, as the Queen Consort. It is set up- that if a woman marries a member of a Royal house- she automatically becomes a Queen or Princess- it doesn"t work out that way for the Men. Prince Albert was the consort of Queen Victoria and he remained a Prince- not a King! oh well Ladies first!

Why was Queen Mary I a bad queen?

I guess it was not the Queen Mary of Scot but Queen Mary of England that was considered as evil. Actually Queen Mary is referred to as Bloody Mary. There is a popular game among the children known as bloody Mary too. She was very lured by the power of throne. Infact, she was the one who imprisoned Elizabeth because she was sure that she would not bear the England becoming catholic again. Mary was the one who almost killed each and every protestant and she undid all her father HenryVIII and his brother, Edward VI's hard work. This is why probably Queen Mary of England is known as to be evil.
