QE2: Portrait of an Ocean Liner
Launched in 1967, the QE2 came to embody a golden era of luxury seafaring. Staff share memories of the ocean liner. From November 2008.
After 40 years as arguably the most elegant ship at sea, QE2 docked at her final resting place in Dubai to be converted into a floating hotel. The story of the ship's eventful life, from construction on the Clyde in the 1960s, through refitting as a cruise ship that epitomised a golden age of luxury travel, to service in the Falklands, is told through the words of serving and former staff and recordings made on board the vessel during one of her final cruises.
A Falling Tree production.
