Queen Elizabeth (1)
If at first you don't succeed in the Other Place run it past the historians on SH.
In 1971 I was an Engineer Cadet on the Texaco Newcastle sailing from Saigon to Kharg Island. As we approached Singapore we met Queen Elizabeth heading towards Hong Kong. All hands gave her 3 cheers and the word went around that she was steaming on only 6 boilers, we had 2. The date was 4, 5, 6 or 7 July 1971.
I would appreciate it if anyone has the exact date she departed or passed Singapore. Many thanks, E-S.
My mistake, it was August 1971. E-S
