QE2 Avoids disaster in Dubai!



Apparently was a vicious sand storm this morning in Dubai and the once great liner MS Queen Elizabeth 2 broke loose from her moorings and drifted out into the channel, she came perilously close to colliding with another ship when two brave pilots managed to get her under control with all the tugs they could muster. 












































It seems that she is OK, but I was told that “If she'd hit another ship or the key, her owner's probably would have written her off rather than repair the damage as Nakeel are in so much debt anyway. So it really was a close one for the old dame.” This news update came from a supporter based in Dubai.











This is grave news for all of us QE2 lover for we all know , had the QE2 had collided with the other vessel it would have accelerated the process of disposing of the vessel, which is always denied by the current owners, but still more urgently to echo among the more experienced fans of the old lady.
It's sad to know that the QE2 , once the pride of the Cunard Line sits abandoned in Dubai awaiting an uncertain future.


Our founder Ms.Rosalba saw the QE2 three times at the port of Dubai, each time
only getting worse ,
we now have a new lady in waiting halfway around the world.


The SS United States , which was decommissioned the same year QE2 came into service has now been saved by a philanthropic organization after many 
years of abuse and neglect.




Will anyone stand up and fight to save the QE2 from further decay or will she suffer the same fate as many grand liners have at the hands of the scrappers in Alang , India ?


No one knows which is why we must keep the word out and unite to save our 2nd lady in waiting.
