QE2 launch photos

[Brandon Sterkel]

Just thought I would bring forward this topic again so that we all might enjoy the launch photos of our beloved QE2.  There are so many wonderful photos here !   

I agree with you June! There are pictures that I have never seen before of QE2's launch here!

Hi Brandon - Glad that you are enjoying QE2's launch.  Be sure to go through all of the replies to read all the commentaries and see all of the photos. I think there are 2 pages.  June

Were those the tapestries that were damaged on one cruise?

Yes, by drunk crew members who were subsequently and quite rightly reprimanded (sacked). I think in about 2005, I remember reading about it at the time I think?

Knew it. How inconsiderate.
