An image of one of Cunard's famous Ocean Liners, Queen Elizabeth 2 or QE2 as she was affectionately called is seen here in October 2007 berthed at Southampton's QE2 terminal (berths 38/39). Her life spanned the years between 1969 (her maiden cruise) and 2008, (the year she sailed from Southampton for the last time) to Dubai, where it was planned for her to become a floating hotel. Sadly, that plan has still not come to fruition.
