    Possibly a degaussing device

    You can still see where it was on the hull today.

    A degaussing device which negates the magnetic field of the hull, to protect against magnetically-triggered mines and torpedoes.

    I guess this was when she was transporting War Brides

    Most likely. Unlike Olympic after World War I, who was given a hasty repaint into her full civilian scheme immediately after hostilities ended, Queen Mary only got her funnel colors restored until she received a proper postwar refit and reentered commercial service.

    Another post of The Grey Ghost in all her glory. Greatest ship ever in her wartime grey.
