RMS Queen Elizabeth - Fit for a Queen by Gordon Bauwens.

In 1946 the daunting task of restoring Queen Elizabeth from grey troop carrier into the stateliest of liners was shared between the Clyde and Southampton. Cunard allowed John Brown & Co, the Elizabeths builders, just 10 weeks to transform the vessels structure as she lay at anchor at the Tail othe Bank. The most striking aspect of this work, as the liners drab wartime coat was chipped away, was how in stages from bow to stern, she gradually emerged in gleaming Cunard colours. This phase completed, the vessel returned to Southampton to be refitted with her original furnishings and for dry docking. Setting out for Scotland once more, Commodore Bisset learned that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose would join the revitalised vessel on the Clyde for her trials on October 8. On one run over the measured mile off Arran the Queen, invited by the Commodore, took the wheel while her two daughters recorded the time taken with stop watches. Then, her speed trials over, the ship headed back to the Tail othe Bank where the steamer Queen Mary II would take the Royal Party back to Greenocks Princes Pier. En Route, as the sleek Cunarder cleared the sweeping bend between Gourock and Strone, the early evening sun highlighted her shining new paintwork. Framed by the autumn tinted hills, she shared the moment with PS Jupiter and the little Clyde puffer, Ardfern.

"The Golden Age" by Ivan Berryman  Depicting the short S45 Solent 2 G-AHIS (Scapa), BOAC Flying Boat, passing over the Queen Elizabeth on Southampton Water, Late 1940s.

 Queen Elizabeth at Southampton by Ivan Berryman 

RMS Queen Elizabeth (1938) mid Atlantic by John Young  The Queen Elizabeth was the largest ship in the world. She had a promenade deck 724ft long. Her forward funnel was 71ft high. Each propeller weighed 32 tons, and her anchors were 16 tons.  She was originally employed on the Southampton-Cherbourg-New York run, calling at Plymouth eastbound, with some cruising. In March, 1955, she was fitted with twin stabilisers.

During the late sixties she was operating at a loss and Cunard exchanged contracts with the City of Lauderdale on April 5th, 1968. Berth 107 saw the Elizabeth leave Southampton for her last voyage on November 29th, 1968, bound for her new home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. After her arrival she was converted to a hotel and night club, as was the Queen Mary.  The Queen Elizabeth covered over 3,470,000 miles and carried more then 2,300,000 passengers during her 907 Atlantic crossings. She also saw considerable war service, having secretly crossed to New York from the Clyde on March 2nd, 1940. Fitted out for transport duties, she had accommodation for almost 16,000 armed men. She was de-commissioned on March 6th 1946, after varying 811,324 service men and steaming 492,635 miles. Not proving a success after her sale to the USA, she was sold to Mr C. Y. Tung in 1970 and employed as a floating university. Sadly, on January 9th 1972, fire broke out while she was being renovated in Hong Kong. She was soon engulfed in flames and capsized at noon the following day, where she remains to this day.
