LOS ANGELES : Queen Mary Pushed for Historical Recognition
Members of the county Historical Landmarks and Records Commission agreed Thursday to notify the state that the Queen Mary appears eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.
Los Angeles County and the Board of Supervisors have no power to officially nominate the ship--owned by the Long Beach Harbor Department and managed by the Walt Disney Co.--for historical recognition from the federal government.
Nonetheless, the commission decided to forward its comments to the state Office of Historic Preservation, according to a county staffer.
