QE2 Cunard Liner - should it have been sold to Dubai?
as someone who lives in greenock, and someone whose father was part of John Brown Engineering as an apprentice electrician and worked on the QE2 while it was being built - i find it extremely saddening that she has been sold to dubai.
she is a british ship, a testament to scottish shipbuilding at its best and its been sold to stay stationary as a floating hotel resort. i think its extremely insulting to the scottish men who built this liner for it to be sold to such a country so far away and the likliehood of these men ever seeing the liner again is low. i understand the maintenance of a 40 year old liner is extremly difficult and this is one of the reasons leading to its sale.
what do you think?
i mean a country so far away.
as someone who can see how proud my father is to have helped build the ship, i just find it sad that these men who built the liner will never see their work again as its being sold for commercial profit to boost tourism on the island in dubai.
Answer:
iTS NOTHING NEW FOR THIS COUNTRY TO SELL THE FAMILY SILVER.
YET AGAIN WE SEE OUR HERITAGE FLOGGED OFF . cOMING FRO LIVERPOOL AND BEING A EX CUNARDER. . I FIND THAT THIS CITIES COUNCIL COULD OF NEGOCIATED A DEAL FOR THE LINER
tHIS BEING THE YEAR OF THE CITY OF CULTURE FOR LIVERPOOL. 50 MILLION WOULD OF BOUGHT A ICON FOR YEARS TO COME
WHAT A WASTED OPPORTUNITY. PROUD TO BE BRITISH.
NO CHANCE PITY WE CAN.T SELL THE QUEEN HERSELF
