When Cunard Line’s Queen Elizabeth
2 departed Fort Lauderdale on April 26, 2002, she carried with her the famous whistle
that guided the legendary Queen Mary through fog-shrouded waters around the
world for more than 40 years. The whistle, one of the most famous sounds in
modern maritime history, has now been installed on the line’s new $800 million
Queen Mary 2.
Upon the arrival of QE2 in Southampton, England, on
May 18, 2002, representatives from the original whistle manufacturer,
Kockums of Sweden, inspected it. The horn was refurbished and then delivered to the shipyard in France for fitting on board QM2, opposite a brand new,
identical replica. |
