QE2 Farewell Season Folder

We present this lavish postal tribute to the longest-serving ocean liner in the world.
The text centres on the great history of the vessel from her launch on the Clyde to her 40th Anniversary season in 2007.

The folder contains a full sheet of stamps and a special numbered cover, gold foil postmarked 13th January 2008, to commemorate the day in New York when she will meet her two sister ships - the QM2 and, the latest addition to the Cunard fleet, the Queen Victoria.
The narrative concludes with plans for the vessel in her new role as a floating hotel in Dubai.
