I loved the sound of the QE2 whistle not that the word whistle does it justice. It had so much depth unlike the new QM2. I remember listening to her when she came to Liverpool and you could hear it echo all around the city buildings. Good luck to the QE2.

Very emotional footage, bring her back and park her next to the new transport museum on the Clyde. This is the ONLY place she should be, her true home. Saw her in Dubai last week, lights on, smoke coming out the funnel. As if she is ready and waiting to sail back to the UK....

How about Great Britain buys QM off of Long Beach, in Return Long Beach agrees to use the money Turn the SS United States into, essentially the same thing as QM. That way we have an American built ship(One of the last ones) and you can have yours...Now im just thinking outside the box but that would be cool!
@CalMacandWaverleyEnthusiast8 жыл бұрын
+Nick Anderson It would be a good outcome indeed but it means Britain is the only country to have less money than they started with. Something governments would not be too happy about. If we get QM back, I would want QE2 back too. Preferably at their place of birth, here on the Clyde.

+ Kevin Dunne I agree with your sentiment there. I have worked on some British made ships. TSS Mardi Gras, Sitmar, QE2. Have visited Canberra in 1996. British made ships are the best. That being said - It is is a miracle that the 1936 QM still exists at all. For that we should all be thankful.
@paulmason83527 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately Dubai is where the money is , neither Southampton or Clydeside can afford to preserve a ship of the QE2s size and stature . The original Queen Mary was bought using oil revenues from Longbeach municipality, but I believe Disney own her. If I am correct the SS United States is on the wrong side of the country for Longbeach and would have to be towed through the Panama Canal or via Cape Horn both costing colo$$al amounts of $$$!

I believe the siren on the QE11 was the siren from the original Queen Mary. If so why was it not removed and reinstalled in one fo the new Queens. Being a Glaswegian I was fortunate in visiting QE11 in dry dock at Greenock. I saw Queen Elizabeth in John Brown's fitting out basin just one week before she left to sail non stop to New York.WW2. I saw the 'Ship Beautiful ' Aquitania at the Tail of the Bank on her last journey to Faslane.

News 2017: After years of decay the QE2 is actually undergoing work to become a centerpiece of a new marina in Port Rashid, Dubai. This is a several year project. The plan is on show, but details of the refit of QE2 are kept secret from the public, but photos show that something is going on. Of course we can't be absolutely sure before this project is completed but for now NO SCRAPPING is in sight!

Evolution Inc. It's planned to be a 100 suite and 300 room floating hotel and it will most likely open this year, maybe already this spring. I think they've thought of the museum part too. A bad thing is that they've removed the lifeboats and davits. They haven't been very open about the details of this project. I don't know if they gonna put some lifeboats back or if they will leave the engines intact.
