40 year-old and still so beautiful!
Tynemouth, United Kingdom, September 16, 2007–The Queen Elizabeth 2 enters the mouth of the River Tyne as she sails to Newcastle on her 40th anniversary cruise around Britain.
The world’s most traveled liner, the QE2 was launched
from the John Brown shipyard in Clydebank on September 20, 1967. In 800
transatlantic crossings and 25 world cruises, the ship has carried some
2.5 million passengers.
That long career is almost at an end, though. The QE2 is slated to end its travels in November 2008 in Dubai, where it will be refurbished as a floating hotel.
