Klappentext zu "QE2"
One the grandest ocean liners ever constructed, the HMS "Queen Elizabeth 2" has regularly captured headlines during her illustrious 40-year career. Starting with her revolutionary design and construction, this delightful history follows the ship on to her years of military service and through her encounters with engine failure, stowaways, storms, and collisions. The story includes hosts of celebrities who fell for the liner's old-fashioned charm and grace. This is the ultimate history of one of the finest and most beloved ships.
