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. The
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.
