QE2's lifeboats and tenders - maker?

[Thomas Hypher]

Harding and Watercraft seem to become Palfinger.

Harding are now known as Schat-Harding as far as I can tell from looking online. QM2's Tenders are also logoed with Schat-Harding but I don't know when the merger happened. It seems to have been after QE2's tenders were supplied around 9 years (late 1994) before QM2's (during 2003) as QE2's equivalent tenders don't appear to have the company's logo from checking my photos.

Anyone who doesn't understand this forum, only needs to look at this topic.

Somebody asks a question, and is provided with Cunard's actual records from their form PR guy, and then the actual officer who did the relevant jobs answers with first hand experience - including the actual delivery voyage of the Alpha and Beta tenders.

We are site for a niche subject for sure, but don't we do it well.  Well done guys, and thank you.

Very familiar, albeit in choppier conditions, and not surprising given Albatros is a contemporary of QE2 - nearing her own 50th birthday come to think of it and still going strong at sea. Great find and a great video showing her bridge and all!
