No, he said a liner that will visit an SS08 environment tomorrow, which is Rotterdam..
And you're right Mike, it was the QM2..Here's a pic of the event..
Luckily two tugs were able to push her back to the dock..

Sorry. I didn't read it properly. Thanks

EDIT: Sorry... Was that NOT what Nathan asked? Anyone else want to let me know that

CaptainMike1 is correct with the QM2

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #1460 on:** July 21, 2009, 23:14:44 »

Which ship is this, laid down in April 1927 and launched in September 1928, she was only the third ship in the world to have Turbo Electric propulsion?

To make it even easier here is a photo of her swiming pool too!

Dalmacija, a beautiful ship from 60s.

I remember I asked a question about her some months ago - Quaysider answered.

Took over a day but well done WM!

Your turn

Wave Music · « **Reply #1472 on:** July 23, 2009, 16:43:58 »

I searched really hard while you were away...

Here's an easy one: What's the name of this liner, the 2nd famous in her times after the QE2?
I bet Mike knows this so lets leave this question for less enlightened people.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #1473 on:** July 23, 2009, 16:55:23 »

Okay, I will leave it, but a clue for the others, I was a officer on the ship from 1970/71 and again in 1977
