Product Description
Since 1969, Queen Elizabeth 2 has sailed over 3 million miles, been a troopship in the Falklands War, and had her main engines changed from steam to diesel. She was the last great ocean liner and was the last real ship of state ever built. She was born in a time when the jet and air travel had stolen most of the passenger trade across the Atlantic, and was designed to cruise as much as brave the North Atlantic in all seasons. She is still a familiar sight in major ports around the world, and has had many fans over the years.

RMS Queen Elizabeth 2: The Last Great Liner June 2, 2008
Ronald F. Beck (Arvada, CO USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is compact and soft cover which allows for easier reading. It has a great collection of pictures which take the ship from construction to the present day. Commodore Ronald Warwick (retired) has given much history and personal insight into the ship. We have sailed on this ship and this book presents a great memory of an ocean liner. She will be retired in November, 2008. We purchased a second copy for our friends who have also sailed on her. As a person who buys ocean liner books, this one is high on my list.
