RMS Queen Elizabeth

RMS ( Royal Mail Ship ) Queen Elizabeth

was an ocean liner operated by the Cunard Line 

on an  express service between Southampton

and New York via Cherbourg.

Built by John Brown and Company in Clydebank

and launched on 27 September 1938.

Queen Elizabeth was a slightly larger ship

than her sister ship the Queen Mary 

and the largest passenger liner to have been built

 - a record not exceeded for fifty-six years.

The Queen Elizabeth entered service in February 1940

as a troopship in the Second World War

and not did begin service

as an ocean liner until October 1946. 

The Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary

maintained a two ship weekly transatlantic service

from Southampton to New York

for over twenty years. 

In 1969 both ships were replaced

by RMS Queen Elizabeth 2.
