Queen Elizabeth 2 by tonygig

Queen Elizabeth 2

The QE2 first went to sea in 1969, I worked on her then and was on the Bridge, I worked with CUNARD for a While on several of there ships. Then in 2008 they retired her. My wife and I sailed on one of her last trips before she sailed off to DUBAI to become a Hotel.
I put this Photo on 365 because the Titanic sank 100 years ago and this is my 100th Photo.
I've been fascinated by the Titanic documentary 100 years ago! Love to hear about your experiences on the QEIi!
