Record of Wartime Cruises
| 1940 | 1941 | 1942 | 1943 | 1944 | 1945 | 1946 |

This is a complete list of World War II cruises of the RMS Queen Mary, which Steve Harding has generously authorized me to copy to this web page from his excellent photo-filled book Gray Ghost: The RMS Queen Mary at War .

Steve Harding notes that "those crossings that do not have entries for the numbers of troops and passengers did, in fact, carry both: Many of the records of the QM's earlier wartime voyages were lost or destroyed in the years just after the war, so we're unsure of the exact numbers."

More info may be found in the "Information About Specific Crossings" pages.
