The
story of ship’s sailing definitely was written by one vessel,
which name is Queen Elizabeth 2. This vessel is the real Queen of
cruise ships. The keel was laid on water on the date of 5th July
1965, and started its long career as a vessel part of Curant fleet.
Queen Elizabeth 2. Now the vessel is the longest serving vessel
for its ship-owner has wroten in its diary more than 2.1 millions
passengers on board ever. The vessel Queen Elizabeth 2 is with length
of 293.5 m, a beam of 32 m and a draft of 9.9 m. The cruise ship
is offering to its guests very good interior and very good atmosphere
all around.
The
looking of the vessel is a little bit older stylish and the guests
will be on board of the sister of Titanik, the most famous vessel
in the world. Queen Elizabeth 2 is with gross tonnage of 70,327
tons and has a displacement of 48,923 tons. The
propulsion system is 9 x MAN 9-cylinder diesel engines turning and
2 five-bladed variable pitch propellers,
which are giving to the vessel a crossing speed of 34 knots, and
the sufficient 20 knots, when going astern. Almost no new vessel
carry such a propulsion system on board. The vessel has an auximary
equipment of 9 x 10,625 kW at 400 rpm, which is giving enough power
to the vessel’s electricity and to have everything that you
need as a passenger on board.
The
cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2, can carry 1,756 passengers on board.
The vessel is made to be luxury and good looking, but not like newest
Princess vessels. The old style is all around the you will feel
many years ago when you are on board. Queen Elizabeth has sailed
5.5 million nautical miles, which is the record for all cruise vessels,
and the best result that one vessel can reach. In the yard of 1990
the vessel visited Liverpool for the first time and thousands of
people went to see the beauty of the world ship-industry and to
have a look to the veteran of Curant shipping company. date: 19th March, 2008
