Here's another one, cleverly and professionally done.
I do hope she can be saved, even as she is now, she's something special.

Saw this article yesterday, plans to sink her as a reef off of the Florida coast.

The conservation group have done such a lot to try to save the ship. It is unfortunate that a ship that was the pride of America will end her days as a reef.

I was proud to be involved with planning QE2's 50 year conference in September 2017 in Clydebank
