Summary
Cunard’s new £29 1/2 million liner, Queen Elizabeth 2, made her first voyage. The majestic new Queen of the seas moved gracefully, under her own power, down river to Greenock and dry-dock where she is getting her final fitting - but before making her maiden voyage. On board was Prince Charles together with many proud men who have been instrumental in the building of this great ship.
