How sad the end for a Grand old Lady of the Sea!, The QE2, Far better that she be scuttled in mid Atlantic, than to end up in the hands of their ilk! What a tragedy!
Truly a beautiful ship.. It sickens me as to how careless the British are with their "Maritime Treasures". Had it not been for the city of Long beach saving her, the Queen Mary would be nothing more then a few hundred million disposable razor blades. The British need to buy her back!
is this the time when her homeport stated in her stern is replaced by port vila from southampton? (ARE THEY FOOLS? THEY ONLY BLACKENED THE SOUTHAMPTON NAME IT IS STILL VISIBLE BECAUSE THE NAME IS 3D)
I believe the siren on the QE11 was the siren from the original Queen Mary. If so why was it not removed and reinstalled in one fo the new Queens.
Being a Glaswegian I was fortunate in visiting QE11 in dry dock at Greenock. I saw Queen Elizabeth in John Brown's fitting out basin just one week before she left to sail non stop to New York.WW2. I saw the 'Ship Beautiful ' Aquitania at the Tail of the Bank on her last journey to Faslane.
we all should create a facebook groupe to encourage her new owners to move her back to UK and we could get some media attention.. look when betty white hosted SNL
it's amazing to hear her 'voice' again. i hope that it is not silenced forever, she deserves to be preserved and enjoyed my future generations. :) thanks for posting this, it was great to see her again and i such good condition.
Esta nave debe volver a Inglaterra urgentemente. Reina Isabel usted puede usted tiene autoridad y poder, La queen no puede estar sola alli abandonada con los Arabes ellos no entienden que significa un transatlantico como este con tanta historia, es un patrimonio de los Ingleses,
Very emotional footage, bring her back and park her next to the new transport museum on the Clyde. This is the ONLY place she should be, her true home. Saw her in Dubai last week, lights on, smoke coming out the funnel. As if she is ready and waiting to sail back to the UK....
you're right the QE2 belongs at Clydebank, It makes absolutely no sense that she is in Saudi Arabia, it's bad enough the Queen Mary is in the states, they both should return to their home
@STFXUFILM The Queen Mary would have been scrapped if Long Beach hadn't bought her. the Brits are irresponsible with their "Maritime Treasures" The Mauretania, Aquitania, Queen Elizabeth and Olympic are good examples of this.
Hearing the QE2 sounding her horn is heart breaking. I am still convinced that selling her to Dubai was a big mistake. Her Shipness should be in the UK. Southampton or Bristol or Scotland where she was born. She is a British National Icon the same as Concorde and the Red Arrows. Please someone bring her back home where she belongs.
@Flyssc1 I know that we all missed the ship but if you want to bring it back where it belongs from the dubai's you need a lot of money. EST-Euro6-7 million dollars >
I'm not even British, I'm American and I agree that she should be in England or Ireland where she belongs

Sends shivers down my spine, Bring her back to the UK!
Keep her is Southampton where she called home for 40+ years.
Or take her to the Clyde where she was built
NOT London which has no connection to this ship!

I loved the sound of the QE2 whistle not that the word whistle does it justice.
It had so much depth unlike the new QM2.
I remember listening to her when she came to Liverpool and you could hear it echo all around the city buildings.
Good luck to the QE2.

@Norfolkscot As far as i am aware"untill some-one corrects me), and i worked on her, the QE2 has her very own horn.
You can still check out the original Queen Mary whistle(horn), on you tube.

Even though QE2's home port was Southampton, she deserves to be bought back up the Clyde where she was bulit and launched.
