By Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross
Fifty years ago the last British built transatlantic liner was launched. Christened by HM The Queen 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 5.6 million miles and carried more than 2.5 million passengers during a magnificent 39 and half year career.
Put simply, she carried more people further than any ship before her and remains the longest-serving express liner in history.
This book has been well received with glowing reviews about the quaility of work Chris and Rachel put into this fine tribute to a classic vessel.
