That's not the QE2 wink

That's the Queen Mary 2.

You can find the original Queen Mary on Google Earth but not the 'QE1'...

That's because it's at the bottom of Hong Kong harbour!

Precisely - I figured it out eventually!

It's fascinating to track down the various old/famous ships around the world - so far I've found USS New Jersey, TS United States, HMS Vixen, HMS Belfast, SS Great Britain, Gerogios Averoff, Warrior, Mikasa, Buffel, M33, U995, Solve (this has moved since I found it in Gothenberg), Cerberus, Schorpioen and the oldest ironclad of all, Huascar (1865). www.hazegray.org/navhist/gun_ship.htm

The keel and boilers of it are, but most of it was cut-up for scrap, some it ended up recycled as rebar for use in the HK metro system.
