Liners We Once Loved Dvd, Part 4: Queen Elizabeth 2.Amateur footage.This is the fourth dvd in the series ‘Liners We Once Loved’.Each programme in this series concentrates on one of the old liners that once crossed the oceans carrying passengers, cargo and mail to and from all parts of the globe.In this case from Southampton to New York and also cruising in exotic waters.Most of the film is taken from converted cine film taken by passengers, crew members and those who watched with envy from the shore.The condition of the film varies in quantity some of which is not too good but none the less worthy to be included.Quite a lot of the clips have been shown before in other films Joe Clark has made but some of the material is new.The idea being to bring all the material on one ship together.In this case we also have some video footage of her world cruises and at the 50th D Day Celebrations of Normandy.Built by Brown on Clydebank in 1967 the Queen Elizabeth 2 was 65,863 GRT.She did two sets of trials, a shake-down cruise and further trials before she was delivered in 1969.She was refitted with diesel engines in 1986/87 and continued in service until 2008, when she was sold.It was intended that she would be converted to a hotel ship in Dubai but this has yet to transpire (2014).Approx. 54 minutes.
