From the shipyard of her birth to her decades-long career as the world's most magnificent ocean liner, here is the grand history of the QE2. An expert maritime historian chronicles the innovative ship's fascinating story and documents her charismatic appeal with more than 150 black-and-white and 27 color images.

A Majestic Book for a Majestic Ship History

While this volume is short on written history there is enough excerpts and picture descriptions to make it a worthwhile companion to your collection of the great Trans-atlantic Queens previously known as the best way to travel to Europe until their hijacking by the 747.

The pictures and illustrations are wonderful and give you a great sense on how it was to travel with both sensibility and a feeling of Grande importance.

Rather disappointed

I was rather disappointed in this book. There were very few pictures of the current interiors and the photos that were there were samll and black and white. Many of the color images were reproductions of paintings, not actual photographs.

Anyone expecting a coffee table book or a memory of a recent crossing will be disappointed.
