QUEEN MARY n from page 1 log. The captain used it for official records, but it doesn’t give actual details about where or how the death occurred.” There is one exception, the death of an 18-year-old firearms apprentice, John Pedder. In 1966 Pedder was crushed to death in doorway #13 of the engine room during a routine water tight drill. Now people say a young bearded man in blue overalls, Pedder, wanders the ship. The room where Pedder died is said to be one of the haunted areas of the ship. “The engine room is creepy,” Hathaway said. This room is now the site of one of the five mazes in Shipwreck ‘99. This particular maze is known as the “Haunted Hull of Horror”. Another supposed haunted area is the first class swimming pool. Although the pool has been dry for years, many have reported hear- ing splashing and laughing. Others have seen wet footprints on the tile and women dressed in vintage bathing suits. In Queen Mary’s Halloween attraction, the “Factory of Fears”, a maze was placed around the swimming pool area. This is the newest maze. “Five years ago we started out with one maze. Each year we added one,” Hathaway said.
