QE2's whistle is unmistakable - easy to recognize (and always a welcome "voice").

Unfortunately Dubai is where the money is , neither Southampton or Clydeside can afford to preserve a ship of the QE2s size and stature . The original Queen Mary was bought using oil revenues from Longbeach municipality, but I believe Disney own her. If I am correct the SS United States is on the wrong side of the country for Longbeach and would have to be towed through the Panama Canal or via Cape Horn both costing colo$$al amounts of $$$!

News 2017: After years of decay the QE2 is actually undergoing work to become a centerpiece of a new marina in Port Rashid, Dubai. This is a several year project. The plan is on show, but details of the refit of QE2 are kept secret from the public, but photos show that something is going on. Of course we can't be absolutely sure before this project is completed but for now NO SCRAPPING is in sight!

Evolution Inc. It's planned to be a 100 suite and 300 room floating hotel and it will most likely open this year, maybe already this spring. I think they've thought of the museum part too. A bad thing is that they've removed the lifeboats and davits. They haven't been very open about the details of this project. I don't know if they gonna put some lifeboats back or if they will leave the engines intact.

+ Kevin Dunne I agree with your sentiment there. I have worked on some British made ships. TSS Mardi Gras, Sitmar, QE2. Have visited Canberra in 1996. British made ships are the best. That being said - It is is a miracle that the 1936 QM still exists at all. For that we should all be thankful.

How about Great Britain buys QM off of Long Beach, in Return Long Beach agrees to use the money Turn the SS United States into, essentially the same thing as QM. That way we have an American built ship(One of the last ones) and you can have yours...Now im just thinking outside the box but that would be cool!
