    Default Cunard Return To Liverpool.

    Could be a few years away but what a coup for Liverpool if it comes off.
    Regards.

    Would certainly give a boost to Liverpool and surrounding regions. There they will be ibn all their glory, three great Cunard ships now owned by Carnival and flying the Red Ensign!!!!
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Yesteryear we took great pride in knowing that three of the world's greatest passenger liners were built in Gt Britain. The three ships being the Queens, Mary, Elizabeth and QE2. Last year I can't see anything to be proud about when three hideous foreign built floating tower blocks entered the Mersey passing the many silent and now forgotten closed shipyards of yesteryear.
    To end this thread, here's something to be proud about.
    The RMS Queens, Mary and Elizabeth were true and genuine beautiful ships and will be remembered for their brave and admirable wartime duties.
    We did win the war, or did we?.

    FOURO.

    I agree the Mary and the Lizzie were graceful and beautiful ships with lines second to none. Working on them was something else. Totally crap accommodation for the crew which defies description and absolute workhouses. Working in the kitchens was a total nightmare in the winter months on the Western Ocean. But as they say all grist to the mill and an experience second to none.
    Regards

    Cant help but agree with what you say ,no character , not proper ships , built abroad , but just say they had been built here , with a bit of soul searching I for one would probably see them differently , and the vast majority of people who see them wouldnt know that anyway ,delusionary I know , but when I see that proud red ensign at the stern I cant help feeling a little twinge of pride. joe.

    What a slap in the face for Britain, three Cunard passenger liners registered in Bermuda, bearing the names of three Queens of Gt Britain, sailing up the Mersey and not flying the Union Jack and only flying the Red Ensign at their sterns because the British Overseas Territory has adopted the Red Duster as its national flag.
    Hamilton, the Bermudan capital will be painted on their sterns.
    Cunard now owned by the American giant Carnival Corporaton will no longer have a single ship registered in the UK.
    The Cunard management should hang their heads in shame for destroying a one hundred and seventy one year old British company. As another piece of British Heritage sinks below the waves, how can the return of such a company ever be a boost for Liverpool?.

    FOURO.

    Before registering their ships in Bermuda, Cunard's greatness was down to its Britishness and Heritage. It was a greatness proudly symbolized by the names of Southampton and Liverpool on the sterns of a long line of legendary ships. Cunard say they want to perform marriages at sea. The Queen being Head of the Church of England wouldn't allow this to happen, therefore Cunard's three foreign built ships should have their present British historical names removed and given new names to suit their future roll as ordinary cruise liners.

    FOURO.
