The only Good one is the Queen Mary 2. She is a real liner, the other two are just another `cruise boats`.
She is specially built for the Western Ocean in Winter. and inside is a lovely ship.
Next year in Liverpool there is going to be a big "ceremony" for the loss of the Lusitania.
Cheers

Brian,not to contradict you but i believe the ceremony will be 2015 the centenary of the sinking of Lusitania.

You is right Jim, I thought next year was 2015, time flies so fast these days I dont even know what day it is.

The Lusitania sinking was pretty controversial as to how the torpedoing could have sunk her so fast. I have seen a few doco's on it along with a diving expedition I think which implied, though to my knowledge never proven there was munitions aboard from US which exploded? Did see a terrific dive expedition on her sister ship in the Med. There was a famous lady who died in that sinking, can not recall her name or why she was famous. Might have been one of the designers or owners mistresses? She as I understand is not in too deep a water. Was she then a hospital ship I think so?
leratty,if you go to forums Merchant Navy At War and scroll down to my post Bootle Survivor Lucitania it will tell you who the woman is.I knew this man and his family they lived a couple of streets away from us.

Hi Richard
The one that was sunk by the germans in the Med by the greek Islands was the Britannic, sister to the Titanic, White Star Line, she was a hospital ship fortunately she was outward bound to the Dardanelles to pick up the wounded so it would have been an even bigger tragedy if she was homeward bound.
