This book focuses on the Cunard ocean liner QE2 and presents its subject from an operational and navigational perspective, describing aspects of life and work aboard the ship from the viewpoint of the bridge. It documents the vessel’s role within the Cunard fleet and its functioning as a transatlantic passenger liner, combining technical and practical elements of maritime operation with visual and descriptive material that illustrates command procedures, navigation, and the working environment of officers on duty. The content is centered on real-world maritime practice rather than fiction, offering insight into how the ship was managed and controlled during service, and it situates the QE2 within the broader context of late 20th-century passenger shipping.
