QE2 in Photos - 1969, 72, 74 (best early photos ever seen!) + stairways & lifts

So Amazing.  She looks so incredibly modern in her original decor, more modern than she did as I knew her. 

As minimalist design-lover (in addition to QE2-nutter), I would have walked on an died on the spot.

She was just stunning.

Another Flickr member, Michael Smithers, has just uploaded these five wonderful photos from his grandma's slides! They are of QE2 in 1971.

Two beautiful pictures of rooms which someone will, I hope, be able to identify definitively :

Looks like she did rather different routes at the time too :

From Southhampton on Queen Elizabeth 2nd to New York and Niagara Falls, Canada, Montreal.

I think that was the name of the whole journey.  QE2 would only have brought them to NY, they'd have had to take a train, plane or automobile from there to Niagara Falls and from there on to Canada.

The Starboard Anti-Room - outside the Midships Bar. What lager became The Chart Room. In the distance you can see where the jigsaw was.

Thank you for the guiding hand!

So strange to see these pictures... looking so familiar... and yet unknown... all at the same time...      !

We've all been there. We know the structure well. But the layout, the furniture and the decorations ( )

The red chairs are part of the Queens Room the Promenade area the greens chairs in the far end is the Midships Bar which later became The Chart Room
