How the world's BIGGEST ship escaped World War II bombers in COMPLETE SECRECY! RMS. Queen Elizabeth
In 1940 the Cunard Liner RMS. Queen Elizabeth - then then largest ship ever built - set sail on its maiden voyage.
But Queen Elizabeth - pride of the Cunard fleet - was not carrying any passengers on its voyage. It only had a small skeleton crew aboard.
In fact, RMS. Queen Elizabeth was sailing under complete secrecy!
Expected to make a short voyage to Southampton, the untested and untried RMS Queen Elizabeth set sail for New York at high speed at what has been described as a "mad dash" to safety across the North Atlantic Ocean - to escape the Nazi Luftwaffe which was sent to destroy her!
RMS Queen Elizabeth went on to serve as a troop ship in World War II - and was acknowledged by Winston Churchill as helping to shorten the war by at least a year.
Join maritime historian and author Chris Frame and explore the early history of the RMS. Queen Elizabeth, from construction at John Brown Shipyard to her years of service as a troopship during World War II that included troop voyages to support D-Day all the way through to VE Day!
