The last voyage of the QE2, the first voyage of the biggest cruise liner ever built, and the 1936 launching of the Queen Mary in front of 150,000 onlookers on the Clyde are all given detailed accounts. Also included are pieces about Bombay’s insanely crowded commuter ferries and Francis Chichester rounding Cape Horn.
