QEII

The QEII was in Brisbane a few weeks ago. I took the opportunity to do some first hand research! I went out to see the ship docked at Fisherman’s wharf. I took numerous photographs and video of the ocean going vessel. Here are just a few images to the afternoon. I also found some info on the ship if you’re interested.





The ship measures 70,327 gross tons and is 963 ft (294 m) long. With a top speed of 32.5 knots Queen Elizabeth 2 is one of the fastest passenger ships afloat. Contrary to what commonly occurred in previous decades where shipping lines would construct ever larger flagships, the QE2 was built smaller than her predecessor RMS Queen Elizabeth using her original steam turbine powerplant, rising to 34 knots when she was re-engined with a diesel electric powerplant.....
