The Building of Queen Elizabeth 2 by Michael Gallagher
Published to coincide with her 50th anniversary, the author, Michael Gallagher, is a leading QE2 and Cunard authority, and is supporting and attending the conference.
The Building of Queen Elizabeth 2 tells not only the fascinating story in detail of the construction of this magnificent ship and the struggle by both ship owner and ship yard to get her into service, but also the story of the aborted Q3 project that led to QE2 and the debate of whether she should have been a three-class or a two-class ship.
This book tells the complete story with a wealth of new information and unseen images.
It is available to order from Ferry Publications from their website: www.ferrypubs.co.uk Cost: £24.00
