In addition to my comments below, my father Captain Wood had the honour of being the pilot on board when Norway visited Southampton in 1996, he was on the bridge when she left the port. My father has recently retired but spoke of his watch and what a privilege it was to be on this ship.
Quelle tristesse et surtout quel gâchis après tant de savoir faire après de nombreux années de service avec sa très jolie silhouette, il aurait bon d'en faire un musée que le mettre vulgairement à la ferraille, merci à Mr Giscard d'étain de nous avoir dit de belles paroles aux allures de miroir aux alouettes pour vous elire à l'époque !
Terrible shame, I believe there were moves afoot to try and save her, but by all accounts the owners just wanted shot of it in the wake of the deaths of the four workers in the boiler explosion. From what I have read, poor maintenance was to blame, and her equipment should've been replaced prior. Ships like these are things of beauty and should be preserved, it should have gone back to Le Havre or somewhere in France as a museum. Great loss.
So many images here are randomly posted and used without permission, especially the ones I took at Alang. I will do a proper video about her on my MidShipCinema channel.
We all know The Geelong when a great ship won't Be used anymore......IT has to stop we Will repair HER! We cant just let her Risto there!!!!shes a Masters ship we can repair HER!!!!!!!!
The Queen Mary is Lucky because in her 31 years of service, she is only a hotel bought by Long Beach California because if the Queen Mary is Scrapped, we will not see the Queen

Un joli navire qui a était démantelé c'est dommage . On le voit à la fin du beau film le cerveau avec les sirènes en action ça me met les larmes c'est émouvant.il était beau ce paquebot.
Amazing how adding just 1 deck totally changes the appearance of a ship....and not for the better!!

Her looks were ruined when the extra decks were added : (
Ugh! definitely...
Perhaps, but it kept her in service. The view from those staterooms was spectacular.
Totally!
....For sure!!!!!.....
Comment défigurer un magnifique paquebot transatlantique pour en faire un vulgaire transport de bidochons…
Finir comme cela alors qu'on est le plus beau bateau du monde ;((((( Dieu des mers, que les hommes sont cons....
