Today marks the end of the era of the Great Liners. These have included the SS. Normandie, Europa, United States, Leviathan, Imperator, RMS. Queen Mary and Elizabeth, Lusitania, Mauretania, Aquitania, Olympic, Britannic and Titanic.
RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, last of the breed, set out on her last voyage today.
In her more than 40 years afloat she has carried more than 2.5 million passengers, circumnavigeted the globe a full 25 times, crossed the Atlantic 801 times and survived conscription as a troop carrier in the Falklands War.
A sad day for nautical fans :frown1:
