QE2: A 50th Anniversary Celebration Book

QE2 Chris Frame Rachelle Cross

In 1967, the last British built transatlantic liner was launched. Christened by HM Queen Elizabeth II on 20 September 1967, the 963ft-long vessel was named Queen Elizabeth 2.

By the end of that same day, she was already known by her famous nickname: QE2.

Fast, smart and sleek, QE2 sailed over 5.8 million miles and carried more than 2.5 million passengers during a magnificent 39½ year career.

Put simply, she carried more people further than any ship before her and remains the longest-serving express liner in history.

Through words penned by passionate QE2 travellers and with tribute stories from captains, crew and guests, a wide selection of carefully selected photographs bring this wonderful ship to life.
