QUEEN ELIZABETH 2
The Last of the Great Transatlantic Ocean Liners  

 

The Queen Elizabeth 2, often called "the QE2", was the flagship of the Cunard Line from 1969 until succeeded by RMS Queen Mary 2 in 2004. She was the last oil-fired passenger steamship to cross the Atlantic in regularly scheduled liner service. She served almost 40 years as the Cunard flagship and traveled all over the world.

At 70,327 tons and 963 ft long, with a top speed of 32.5 knots (60 km/h), QE2 is one of the largest and fastest passenger vessels afloat. She is larger than the RMS Titanic, but smaller than her predecessor RMS Queen Elizabeth, in order to allow her to pass through the Panama Canal. QE2 can carry approx. 1,700 passengers and 1,015 crew members.

As of 2005, the QE2 still makes voyages to places such as Sydney, Australia, New York, Hong Kong, and regular cruises around the Mediterranean. She is retired from active Cunard service on November 27th, 2008. In July 2009, she sailed for Cape Town to become a floating hotel as part of a Dubai World project.

The QE2 was considered the last of the great transatlantic ocean liners.  In developing the new, huge cruise ships like the Freedom of the Seas, it seems like something has been lost on the way. The Queen Mary 2, although dazzling and fantastic in her own right, is still not comparable to that wonderful classic liner - Queen Elizabeth 2.

This primarily wood QE2 has the following qualities:

- Plank-on-frame hull

- Windows and portholes are cutouts (not black decals), uniform, and on straight lines. 

- Lighting feature is included. A ship is not an ocean liner without beautiful lighting. LED light powered by standard battery for your convenience. Our model has realistic and beautiful lighting, including red/green navigation light. Cheap model makers can never remotely match our artistry and and engineering ability.

Model ships might look similar but when examine closely, they are quite different. When you search, pay particular attention to accuracy and onstruction method. Look for large enough photos to see if the windows are uneven dark indentation or real cuts. Don't be fooled by some model makers out there who freely claim their models "museum quality" or even "true museum quality." Their ships are wrong on many counts. The hulls are horrible. Some parts are oversized yet others undersized. Many important features are wrong or missing. Go here to learn more: how to choose an ocean liner model.
