The 83, 000 ton Cunard-White Star Liner Queen Elizabeth cast off her moorings
The 83, 000 ton Cunard-White Star Liner " Queen Elizabeth" cast off her moorings and Southampton and slid slowly from her berth to begin her maiden passenger voyage to New York. A great crowd on the quayside gave the ship a rousing send off, other vessels at Southampton Water sounded their sirens in farewell as she gathered speed. Overhead half a dozen aircraft circled the " Q.E.", agleam in her new paint, as she steamed down the Solent to show the world the determination of Britain to hold pride of place in luxurious high-speed ocean travel.
Picture shows crowds watching at Southampton as " Queen Elizabeth" leaves her berth on her maiden passenger voyage across the Atlantic.
