Background: The former Cunard Cruise Liner the Queen Elizabeth2 provided Inverclyde with massive employment opportunities during her construction, now we learn that she is sitting idle, rusting, redundant in Port Rashid, Dubai and might even be sold for "scrap value". Some have even estimated her value to be only £3Million pounds in todays climate.
BrainFart: Inverclyde Council should immediately put forward proposals to secure the vessel from it's desert dock and arrange towage to the Great Harbour/Inchinnan Dock in Greenock. A fundraiser aimed at previous crew, skippers or retired/serving Royal Naval staff would provide a willing 'transportation crew'. (Could MoD or Serco pull strings and provide a tug escort?!? Anyone on friendly terms with Faslane Flag Officer?) Once alongside, Great Harbour would become her permanent berth.
Stage 1: Establish an army of apprenticeships from those interested in a career in Welding, Construction, Electrical, Mechanical, Painting, Joinery, Carpet Fitters, etc etc Incorporate an "Official QE2 Supporters Club" made for ex-engineers, crew, supporters and former passengers. Bookings can be made for "work parties" as an alternative holiday for retired individuals who have an affinity for the ship or could lend knowledge of her original layout, design & presentation. Bringing the QE2 back to her original state of a luxury hotel.
Stage 2: Dockside regeneration (proper regeneration, not kid-on Fawcett-fuckups). Permanently moor QE2 at the back of Pottery Street Recycling Centre within the Great Harbour dock. There's a nice double carriageway going nowhere at the moment, how about having the QE2 as the gateway to the waterfront? QE2 provides a hotel base for holiday-makers and makes the ideal landing point for day-breaks to Loch Lomond, Edinburgh, Argyll & Bute, etc. At the quayside we could have an exhibition of maritime heritage including the Cunard Line and homage to Clyde-based shipbuilding.
Stage 3: Create an Inverclyde Watersports Centre managed & facilitated by the local Sea Cadets at Great Harbour alongside the QE2 berth. The Centre could support leisure industry with boat hire, jetski hire, diving lessons, experience days, etc as well as fully qualified RYA centre of excellence. Could there be any tie-up with the Maritime College of Glasgow?!?
Inverclyde Council are woefully inadequate when discussing regeneration plans for the area and we need a massive gesture, a huge kickstart to workforce..... Why shouldn't we try the leisure sector and make Inverclyde the new West of Scotland Resort?!?
We've tried everything else and everyone's kinda sick of stupid 'artistic impressions' that go nowhere.
Time to think big, have some vision... Don't let it be our generation that people look back on and think... what the fuck where that lot doing pissing about with street sculptures. Remember it was only a few weeks ago we spent nearly £2m saving the Beacon Theatre.... £3m for QE2 (exc. transport)

English/Nat
Cunard Line's famous QE 2 liner has left New York for a round the world cruise.
The big ship pulled out of harbour Thursday afternoon on the first leg of a 95-day journey to 32 ports with some 18-hundred passengers aboard.
Cunard's self-proclaimed "City at Sea" will spare no expense to pamper its high paying passengers and bury memories of a cruise one year ago which turned into a floating nightmare because of an incomplete refit.
The QE 2 was polished and ready to go Thursday afternoon on one of the most exclusive and extravagant cruises available.
It was all smiles for some 700 passengers boarding in New York as the liner's thousand- member crew made last minute preparations to get underway.
The QE 2 will eventually host more than 18-hundred passengers on its trademark world cruise.
It has hosted 27 of these global tours since its maiden voyage in 1969.
The trip is yours if you happen to have at least 24-thousand dollars to spare.
That's how much passengers will pay for a regular cabin.
For about 147-thousand, you get a penthouse suite.
The QE 2's captain says running the 70-thousand ton liner is like managing a city, rather than a ship.
SOUNDBITE:
"My primary responsibility is the safe conduct of the voyage. But fairly close to that is the profitable side of the voyage. So, therefore what the hotel manager and the chief engineer and those people do, the other side, it lands on my desk."
SUPER CAPTION: Captain John Burton-Hall, ship's master.
It was this time last year that angry passengers were put to sea among debris, half- completed cabins and a luxury whirlpool which was out of order.
But the liner's reputation has survived intact and many of those boarding in New York are veterans of the QE 2 round-the-world trips.
All consider it a unique experience.
SOUNDBITE:
"This is the 23rd year. And the '75 is my first world cruise, and I've been doing them ever since. I usually do the whole cruise, but this time I'm breaking it up and doing it in two segments. And, I love it."
SUPER CAPTION: Rose Everett. American passenger
SOUNDBITE:
"I would say everybody would like to do something. We're very lucky that we have the chance to do it. And we've been looking for this opportunity for a long time. We are celebrating 33 years of marriage that's why."
SUPER CAPTION: Carlos Hidalgo. Spanish passenger.
Cunard says QE 2 is in top shape for the cruise, after a 45 (m) million dollar refit last month.
QE 2's guests will feast on haute cuisine in seven restaurants.
They'll have access to a health spa, a shopping arcade, swimming pool and much more.
The British company hopes this trip will be plain sailing with no repeat of the lessons of the past.

QE2 in Port Rashid DUBAI. The lighting is on at night and there is signes of smoke from the funnel. The port is secure from the road with security checking ID and boarding passes to cruise ships.
If your lucky to be there on a cruise you can walk around the port road to see it or cut through where the taxi driver hang out in a building. The area is not fenced off so you can walk up to the QE2. At the gang way a sign says UNAUTHORIZED VISITORS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 AT ANY TIME as I advanced filmimg the security guard shouted something from inside so I politly walked passed.
The QE2 has now been there since NOV 2008. any more info and I will ad it. Happy viewing and be the first onboard filming without getting into trouble......

Queen Elizabeth 2
Queen Elizabeth 2, often referred to simply as QE2, is an ocean liner built for the Cunard Line which was operated by Cunard as both a transatlantic liner and a cruise ship from 1969 to 2008. She was designed for the transatlantic service from her home port of Southampton, UK, to New York, and was named after the earlier Cunard liner RMS Queen Elizabeth. She served as the flagship of the line from 1969 until succeeded by RMS Queen Mary 2 in 2004. Designed in Cunard's then headquarters and regional offices in Liverpool and Southampton respectively, and built in Clydebank, Scotland, she was considered the last of the great transatlantic ocean liners until the construction of the Queen Mary 2 was announced.
Before she was refitted with a diesel power plant in 1986/87, QE2 was also the last oil-fired passenger steamship to cross the Atlantic in scheduled liner service. During almost forty years of service, Queen Elizabeth 2 undertook regular world cruises and latterly operated predominantly as a cruise ship, sailing out of Southampton, England. QE2 had no running mate and never ran a year-round weekly transatlantic express service to New York. QE2 did, however, continue the Cunard tradition of regular scheduled transatlantic crossings every year of her service life. QE2 was never designated RMS, or Royal Mail Ship, instead carrying the SS and later MV or MS prefixes in official documents.

Background: The former Cunard Cruise Liner the Queen Elizabeth2 provided Inverclyde with massive employment opportunities during her construction, now we learn that she is sitting idle, rusting, redundant in Port Rashid, Dubai and might even be sold for "scrap value". Some have even estimated her value to be only £3Million pounds in todays climate.
BrainFart: Inverclyde Council should immediately put forward proposals to secure the vessel from it's desert dock and arrange towage to the Great Harbour/Inchinnan Dock in Greenock. A fundraiser aimed at previous crew, skippers or retired/serving Royal Naval staff would provide a willing 'transportation crew'. (Could MoD or Serco pull strings and provide a tug escort?!? Anyone on friendly terms with Faslane Flag Officer?) Once alongside, Great Harbour would become her permanent berth.
Stage 1: Establish an army of apprenticeships from those interested in a career in Welding, Construction, Electrical, Mechanical, Painting, Joinery, Carpet Fitters, etc etc Incorporate an "Official QE2 Supporters Club" made for ex-engineers, crew, supporters and former passengers. Bookings can be made for "work parties" as an alternative holiday for retired individuals who have an affinity for the ship or could lend knowledge of her original layout, design & presentation. Bringing the QE2 back to her original state of a luxury hotel.
Stage 2: Dockside regeneration (proper regeneration, not kid-on Fawcett-fuckups). Permanently moor QE2 at the back of Pottery Street Recycling Centre within the Great Harbour dock. There's a nice double carriageway going nowhere at the moment, how about having the QE2 as the gateway to the waterfront? QE2 provides a hotel base for holiday-makers and makes the ideal landing point for day-breaks to Loch Lomond, Edinburgh, Argyll & Bute, etc. At the quayside we could have an exhibition of maritime heritage including the Cunard Line and homage to Clyde-based shipbuilding.
Stage 3: Create an Inverclyde Watersports Centre managed & facilitated by the local Sea Cadets at Great Harbour alongside the QE2 berth. The Centre could support leisure industry with boat hire, jetski hire, diving lessons, experience days, etc as well as fully qualified RYA centre of excellence. Could there be any tie-up with the Maritime College of Glasgow?!?
Inverclyde Council are woefully inadequate when discussing regeneration plans for the area and we need a massive gesture, a huge kickstart to workforce..... Why shouldn't we try the leisure sector and make Inverclyde the new West of Scotland Resort?!?
We've tried everything else and everyone's kinda sick of stupid 'artistic impressions' that go nowhere.
Time to think big, have some vision... Don't let it be our generation that people look back on and think... what the fuck where that lot doing pissing about with street sculptures. Remember it was only a few weeks ago we spent nearly £2m saving the Beacon Theatre.... £3m for QE2 (exc. transport)

Cunard Line's famous QE 2 liner has left New York for a round the world cruise.
The big ship pulled out of harbour Thursday afternoon on the first leg of a 95-day journey to 32 ports with some 18-hundred passengers aboard.
Cunard's self-proclaimed "City at Sea" will spare no expense to pamper its high paying passengers and bury memories of a cruise one year ago which turned into a floating nightmare because of an incomplete refit.
The QE 2 was polished and ready to go Thursday afternoon on one of the most exclusive and extravagant cruises available.
It was all smiles for some 700 passengers boarding in New York as the liner's thousand- member crew made last minute preparations to get underway.
The QE 2 will eventually host more than 18-hundred passengers on its trademark world cruise.
It has hosted 27 of these global tours since its maiden voyage in 1969.
The trip is yours if you happen to have at least 24-thousand dollars to spare.
That's how much passengers will pay for a regular cabin.
For about 147-thousand, you get a penthouse suite.
The QE 2's captain says running the 70-thousand ton liner is like managing a city, rather than a ship.
SOUNDBITE:
"My primary responsibility is the safe conduct of the voyage. But fairly close to that is the profitable side of the voyage. So, therefore what the hotel manager and the chief engineer and those people do, the other side, it lands on my desk."
SUPER CAPTION: Captain John Burton-Hall, ship's master.
It was this time last year that angry passengers were put to sea among debris, half- completed cabins and a luxury whirlpool which was out of order.
But the liner's reputation has survived intact and many of those boarding in New York are veterans of the QE 2 round-the-world trips.
All consider it a unique experience.
SOUNDBITE:
"This is the 23rd year. And the '75 is my first world cruise, and I've been doing them ever since. I usually do the whole cruise, but this time I'm breaking it up and doing it in two segments. And, I love it."
SUPER CAPTION: Rose Everett. American passenger
SOUNDBITE:
"I would say everybody would like to do something. We're very lucky that we have the chance to do it. And we've been looking for this opportunity for a long time. We are celebrating 33 years of marriage that's why."
SUPER CAPTION: Carlos Hidalgo. Spanish passenger.
Cunard says QE 2 is in top shape for the cruise, after a 45 (m) million dollar refit last month.
QE 2's guests will feast on haute cuisine in seven restaurants.
They'll have access to a health spa, a shopping arcade, swimming pool and much more.
The British company hopes this trip will be plain sailing with no repeat of the lessons of the past.

QE2 in Port Rashid DUBAI. The lighting is on at night and there is signes of smoke from the funnel. The port is secure from the road with security checking ID and boarding passes to cruise ships.
If your lucky to be there on a cruise you can walk around the port road to see it or cut through where the taxi driver hang out in a building. The area is not fenced off so you can walk up to the QE2. At the gang way a sign says UNAUTHORIZED VISITORS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 AT ANY TIME as I advanced filmimg the security guard shouted something from inside so I politly walked passed.
The QE2 has now been there since NOV 2008. any more info and I will ad it. Happy viewing and be the first onboard filming without getting into trouble......
