| 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. The QE2 was considered the last of the great
transatlantic ocean
liners prior to the
RMS
Queen Mary 2,
and she was the last oil-fired passenger
steamship to cross
the
Atlantic in
regularly scheduled liner service before she was
refitted with a diesel power plant. During her
service as the Cunard flagship, QE2 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
and her successor Queen Mary 2, in order to
allow her to pass through the
Panama Canal. The
QE2 can carry approx. 1,700 passengers and
1,015 crew members, for a total of approx. 2,715
people on board.
While she has been taken off the traditional
"transatlantic" route which has been taken over by
the QM2, as of 2005 the QE2 still makes voyages to
places such as Sydney, Australia, New York, Hong
Kong, and regular cruises around the Mediterranean.
This is the best quality and most
accurate wooden Queen Elizabeth 2 model in the world.
