Historical Significance:

When the 84,000-ton RMS Queen Elizabeth was launched in 1938, she was the largest passenger ship ever built. 

Before becoming known as one of the world's most luxurious ocean liners, RMS Queen Elizabeth was used to transport British troops in World War II.  She sailed all around the world, deploying troops and returning with German POWs. By war's end Queen Elizabeth had carried over 750,000 troops and traveled some 500,000 miles.

With the  release from government duty finalized, the Queen Elizabeth finally set out on its maiden passenger voyage to New York on Oct. 16, 1946.  She became a hugely popular and glamorous ship that was frequented by many famous people.

RMS Queen Elizabeth's reign as largest passenger ship ever ended in 1997 when Carnival launched the 101,000-ton cruise ship Destiny.   She held the record for 39 years!
