The year 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the maiden voyage of the beloved, iconic QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 — the QE2. While that extraordinary ship, the most successful liner ever, lives on out in Dubai, it was the perfect occasion to celebrate both the ship and its owners. No company has the grand history that belongs to Cunard.
On Friday, February 15th, the PONY Branch once again welcomed Bill Miller, “Mr. Ocean Liner,” who took us on a “voyage” — a voyage of recollection and remembrance — beginning with the first Queens, the immortal QUEEN MARY and QUEEN ELIZABETH. While we “traveled” to the current age of three modern Queens (with a fourth expected in 2022), other Company liners made “guest appearances” – including the AQUITANIA, MAURITANIA, CARONIA, BRITANNIC and more.
