Long Beach Harbor........

 We took a boat tour of the Long Beach Harbor....... Here a new bridge being built to replace the Arched Bridge and accommodate larger container ships.

Most docks owned and operated by Japanese and Chinese Companies.....

Queen Mary Legoland.......

We've seen the Queen Mary Lego Model.........But there was more going on in that room.

Like the Bust of Winston Churchill

Queen Mary: My Return in July 2019

I guess that I should have started out with photos of the Queen Mary Exterior,  In particular I love the Rivets.  But we'll explore that in more detail later:

The oil loading terminals are located on faux islands in the harbor:
