Genesis of a Queen: Queen Mary 2
In the modern era Queen Mary 2 continues to evoke a “Ship of State” aura unmatched by any other ship. This illustrated talk by Queen Mary 2 naval architect Dr Stephen Payne OBE describes why and how the ship was built and explores some of the many design considerations and challenges that had to be evaluated. The philosophy to embrace a “liner” rather than a “cruise” rationale is fully explained. This very personalised lecture is regarded by many as the definitive narrative about this great ship –come and find out why!
Dr. Stephen Payne, (OBE MNM RDI FRINA FREng) and Past President, The Royal Institution of Naval Architects, is the designer and architect of Cunard Line’s Queen Mary 2. Dr. Payne will arrive in Halifax on the Queen Mary 2 and has graciously offered this special presentation for museum visitors!
