Default QM2 in Newport RI - QM2-10-07.JPG (1/1)


Thanks Fafar, Nice photo. QE3 was built in France and entered service in
January 2004 and is the largest, longest, widest, tallest and most expensive
passenger liner in history.

Her 35 years older fleet sister QE2 arrived in Belfast this afternoon on her
farewell Ireland and UK tour. I was attending family business in the country
and did not return until after dark so was unable to get a photograph. She
is departing tonight for Greenock in Scotland where she was launched. A
fireworks display will mark the QE2`s departure.
QE2 was in Newport RI on 17th September (If you got a photo of her then I
would be pleased if you would post it) and will make one more voyage to the
USA arriving in New York on 16th October.
QE2 has been sold by Cunard and will anchor in Dubai on 27th November to
begin life as a floating hotel.

Regards,
Tuppence
