AUBURN — The Auburn Public Library will host a lecture titled “Crossing the Atlantic on Queen Mary II” at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6, at the library, 49 Spring St.

The program is free.

The lecturer and “captain” is June Speer, an educator who has worked throughout New England, England, Germany and Spain.

RMS Queen Mary 2 was the first major ocean liner built since Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1969. At the time of her construction in 2003 she was the longest, widest, largest and tallest passenger ship ever built. She no longer holds this distinction, after the construction of Royal Caribbean International’s 154,407 GT Freedom of the Seas in April 2006.
