British cruiser H.M.S. Curacao moved in the wrong direction and the Queen Mary sliced her in two.
In the Boson’s Locker you can hear strange noises. During World II, the Queen Mary was being pursued and to avoid being an easy target, they used the zigzagging technique. Unfortunately, her escort ship, a British cruiser H.M.S. Curacao moved in the wrong direction and the Queen Mary sliced her in two. They were not allowed to stop for survivors and over 300 hundred men drowned. We were told there was a television crew who left their audio recorder running overnight in the exact location where the two ships collided. The next day they played back the tape and sounds of pounding could be heard. Others who have been down here claimed to have heard voices and cries for help. When we were down in the once damaged area, we heard strange groaning noises and tapping.
