40th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth Two![]() This stunning limited edition is the FIRST ever Buckingham stamp sheet for a great Ocean Liner. Our stamp sheets are gaining a huge following. The sheet celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Cunard's great ship, Queen Elizabeth Two (QE2). Some of our sheets were CARRIED ON BOARD the 40th Anniversary celebration cruise. These have special "carried" cachets (rubber stamps) and are very special. A small number of CARRIED sheets were also signed personally by Commodore Warwick. He was QE2's Captain for 9 years before he became Master of Queen Mary 2. Funnily enough, Warwick's father was also Master of the QE2 for her maiden voyages! QE2 was the flagship of Cunard Line from 1967 to 2004. Built in Clydebank, Scotland, she was considered the last of the great transatlantic ocean liners before Queen Mary 2 stole her thunder in 2004. Before QE2 was refitted with a diesel power plant in 1986, she was also the last oil-fired passenger steamship to cross the Atlantic in scheduled liner service. During almost 40 years of service, QE2 has travelled the world and is now spending her retirement as a luxury hotel in Dubai.
