AUSTRALIAN AUTHORS By the 1970s it looked as if QE2 would be the last of the great transatlantic ocean liners. However, over three decades later the world watched in awe as Queen Mary 2, the largest, longest, grandest and most expensive ocean liner ever to be constructed, set sail on her maiden voyage in 2004. With 14 decks and beautiful lounges, dining rooms and ballrooms, QM2 evokes the glamour of the golden age of ocean travel. QM2: A Photographic Journey allows the reader to experience this unique vessel from the comfort of their own home, with numerous photographs of each of QM2's public rooms as well as stunning exterior shots and behind the scenes access. AUTHORS: Chris Frame AND Rachelle Cross live in Western Australia, where they work as a marketing executive and bookseller respectively. They have a passion for the great ocean liners and embark on cruises whenever possible. They have previously written QE2, QM2, QV and QE: A Photographic Journey as well as the Cunard, QE2 and QM2 Story, and The Evolution of the Transatlantic Liner for The History Press.
