She was launched in September 1938, the largest passenger liner built at the time and for many years after. Entering service as a troopship in World War II, she had a successful career before retiring in 1968 after which she was sold to a Hong Kong businessman with plans to convert her into a floating university. But it was not to be and she was capsized in a mysterious fire in the harbor in 1972, a bizarre end for an elegant liner. Andrew Britton presents a wealth of unpublished photographic material and ephemera, even including the original purchase receipt, to tell the story of this historic liner. This evocative book offers a treat for all ocean liner fans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Britton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0752479512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752479514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 9.70w x 0.50d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Britton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057337790719,"sku":"9780752479514","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77f2db3f-5265-4d77-8db8-b5dd2bad3907.jpg?v=1685046402","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rms-queen-elizabeth-andrew-britton-9780752479514","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
