My QE2 website (http://maritime.elettra.co.uk/qe2/)

I thought some of you might be interested to view my QE2 website

http://maritime.elettra.co.uk/qe2/

I've previously posted a link to my Queen Mary site (http://maritime.elettra.co.uk/queenmary/) and I had some nice feedback.

My QE2 site has taken a bit longer than I hoped, I've been working on it on and off for a year!  I finally finished it a few weeks ago.  There are a few different elements to it, including a Virtual Tour.  There are some instructions that explain all about it.

I've tested in Windows, Linux and on Mac so hopefully you should have no problems.

I would like to be first to post a rave review of this site.

Absolutely, completely superb.  And genuinely made me tearful.  It brings QE2 alive again - especially the wonderful virtual tour.  It made me want to book another QE2 cruise...  The quality of the photography is very high too.

a great way to remember and treasure our ship.

Thank you Richard for creating it, and sharing it with us.  All the best with it.

- Rob.

[Andrew Collier]

Absolutly beautiful, the beauty of the site echos that of the ship.

Well done and thank you for making the site and sharing it with us!

Cheers

What a fantastic site! I've got as far as the boat deck on the virtual tour and although I never made it aboard, I wish I had more than ever now! What a 'cosy' feel the photo's evoke. Just brilliant

Cheers

Your site is simply superb!
It will be a treat to explore a little bit further every day...
Thank you.

Thank you for the positive feedback on my site.  It means a lot when it comes from people with a special interest in the QE2.

There are 104 different panoramic photographs in the Virtual Tour so I hope I captured most of the public areas of the ship.  I have another 40 I haven't put in the tour yet, so I'll try and get round to that some time.

I think my favourite are of the two panoramas of Midship Lobby on Two Deck as it was my favourite area on the ship.  i'm most pleased with the second of those as the panorama shows all four panels on the walls in chronological order.

Yep, the first picture you see just says "come on in" excellent.

One question though, there are 7 (I think) tall rectangular windows, starboard side on two deck, can anyone tell me when these were cut in and what are they for. To me they look like they don't belong.

[Michael Gallagher]

The windows were cut when the Aquitania and Carinthia Suites were created during the 1999 refit.

[richc1977]

If you go on Deck Two of the Virtual Tour on the site you can see the Carinthia Suite.  I was lucky enough to meet some people who let me come and take some pictures of the Suite.  On the first and second panoramas you can see the two of the large vertical windows in the "living area", the other two were in the bedroom but you can't really see that on the panoramas.

I love the lay out, the look - so clean!, just fantastic and much there to explore. Great work!

[Chris Frame]

Wow!

What an absolutely magnificent website.

It is superb, absolutely superb.

Your photography is also brilliant. Thank you very much for sharing!

(It makes me wonder if my website is long overdue for an overhaul!)

Chris.

[Michael Gallagher]

Your photos - especially of the public rooms are simply stunning. I have just lost myself for over an hour looing through your virtual tour and reliving so many great memories of time on board. How I miss the Princess Grill Bar. Thank you so much for putting together this site. Michael
