quote:Originally posted by Caribia:Hi, Does anyone know if any pictures exist of any of the new interiors of Queen Elizabeth when converted to Seawise University. There seem to be quite a few photos about of her externally during conversion and in disaster but I have only seen descriptions of the new interiors. A while ago I bought a couple of near identical leaflets for the maiden voyage and deck plans but the only photos are of a couple of the cabins. Any ideas anyone?
From brochures I have seen of the retired liners CY Tung brought in the late 1960s and early 1970s, little was done to to the public rooms on his other ships. Soft furnishings were recovered, a few Asian art pieces and furnishings added and that was pretty much it. There was little reconstruction/reconfiguration of the interiors on QE1 from what I have have read.
