The RMS Queen Elizabeth pulling into New York with service men returning home after the end of World War 2, 1945.
She was able to carry 15,000 people at a time, including 900 crew members. The trip from The British isles to the east coast of the United States usually took 5 to 7 days. During her service in World War 2, the RMS Queen Elizabeth transported more than 750,000 troops, and sailed a total of 500,000 miles (800,000 km).
Is this real
Surely Queen Mary
hmmm i guess thats more than the population of my village,what about toilets?
Wow that is incredible
I read a book about U-boats called “Iron Men and Steel Coffins” where the author described a torpedo attack that the captain had set up perfectly only to have the QE sail away before the torpedoes could close the distance. It was said that she was so fast that she never zig-zagged.
Getting goose pimples looking at this picture.
Thank you for your service, but imagine they survived the war in the boat sunk on the way home😂 and they all died😂
I’ll bet those toilets were backed up.
Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth !
