The Elizabeth Line will serve 41 stations and stretch across more than 60 miles from Reading and Heathrow in the west through tunnels in central London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. Once it's up and running, it is expected to carry more than 200m passengers a year.
HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Royal Navy's flagship aircraft carrier seen from the side of a Merlin helicopter on her maiden operational voyage, in the eastern Mediterranean, June 20, 2021. Commanders said Russian jets and warships based in nearby Syria had been probing the carrier strike group every day since she sailed past Crete.
From Wikipedia:
In 1968, the Queen Elizabeth was sold to a group of Philadelphia businessmen who intended to operate the ship as a hotel and tourist attraction in Port Everglades, Florida, similar to the use of Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Losing money and forced to close after being declared a fire hazard, the ship was sold in 1970 to Hong Kong tycoon C.Y. Tung.
Tung, head of the Orient Overseas Line, intended to convert the vessel into a university for the World Campus Afloat program (later reformed and renamed as Semester at Sea). Following the tradition of the Orient Overseas Line, the ship was renamed Seawise University, as a play on Tung's initials.
During the conversion, the vessel was destroyed by a massive fire on January 9, 1972. There is some suspicion that the fires were set deliberately, as several blazes broke out simultaneously throughout the ship. The fact that C.Y. Tung had acquired the vessel for $3.5 million, but had insured it for $8 million, led some to speculate that the inferno was part of a fraud to collect on the substantial sum. Others speculated that the fires were the result of a conflict between Tung, a Chinese Nationalist, and Communist-dominated ship construction unions.
The ship capsized in shallow water in Hong Kong Victoria Harbour on 9 January 1972. The wreckage was dismantled for scrap between 1974 and 1975, before the project could be fully realized. Portions of the hull that were not salvaged were left at the bottom of the bay and later incorporated into landfill for the new Hong Kong International Airport. However, the keel and boilers remain at the bottom of the harbour still and the area is marked as "Foul" on local sea charts warning ships not to try to anchor there. It is estimated that around 40–50% of the wreck is still on the seabed alongside the large Hong Kong container port. Parker pens produced a special edition of 500 pens made from material recovered from the wreck in a presentation box and these are highly collectable.
The wreck was featured in the 1974 James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, as a covert headquarters for MI6.
Two of the ship's fire warning system brass plaques were recovered recently by a dredger and these are now on display at The Aberdeen Boat Club in Hong Kong within a display area about the ship.
The charred remnants of her last ensign were cut from the flag pole and framed in 1972, and it still adorns the wall of the officers' mess of marine police HQ in Hong Kong.
Following the demise of Queen Elizabeth, the largest passenger ship in active service became the SS France, which was longer but had lesser tonnage than the Cunard liner.

In 1986 when I was working on my Autographs project, I was able to contact Elizabeth Taylor, through her agent, and she was gracious enough to autograph this drawing that I did of her. I didn't meet her, but I was very pleased she liked the drawing enough to sign it. Also, I think it was because of her signing this drawing that got Michael Jackson to take notice of my work. They were great friends, and when I contacted his office to sign a drawing, he eventually saw this drawing and he agreed to sign the drawing I did of him. Which led to Michael hiring me to illustrate his coloring book, Moonwalker - The Coloring Book.
My Autographs project was something I came up with and worked on during the 1980s and early 1990s. I would do a drawing of a famous person and search them out to see if they would autograph it. I met many of them. Some of the people who signed my drawings were; President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy Reagan (this was when he was President and my drawing was in the Oval Office in the White House!), Andy Warhol, Al Hirschfeld, David Levine, Liza Minnelli, Stephen Sondheim, Spike Lee, Paloma Picasso (I have a signed Picasso!), Lucille Ball, Jeremy Irons, Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Malcom Forbes, The Eurythmics (Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart) and Molly Ringwald to name a few.
I also had a number of rejections; Jacqueline Onassis, Bette Midler, Yoko Ono, Donald Trump, Katherine Hepburn (who wrote me a wonderful note - which she signed - so I got my autograph) and Jerry Seinfeld. There were some others. But, most of the people I contacted autographed their drawings.
It was a great project, I just did it for myself and I had a lot of fun. Meeting many of these people was a thrill!! I would have loved to have met Elizabeth Taylor in person, just to look into those beautiful violet eyes of hers!!
Multiple exposure of some street art tribute to Elizabeth Stride at the corner of Henriques Street (formerly Berner Street where she was murdered), with the other shot being the spot where the gated entrance to Dutfield's Yard used to be (she was found murdered inside these gates on September 30 1888).
