The SS France was faster than the Cunard Queens.

This is a great photo, I seen the Queen Mary many times in
Long Beach, but to see a photo of her at 30 knots, is a treat!

No worries Chris. The only tragedy is that given the nature of the industry they're in, we may never see any photographic evidence of them performing at those speeds.

Show's how far behind the times I am !

Thanks I'll look these up.

Addendum:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Mærsk_Boston

Quotes 36.5 knots as the absolute maximum for the B Class. Gotta love the advances in Hydrodynamic design and efficiency over the decades....

Try 14 Sealand (Maersk) containerships, you need to include the 6 B Class vessels which are also faster than the original QM.

Even today she is still quite a sight. she may not be perfectly preserved, but i sure am glad shes around.

It must have been a majestic site to experience! mrdot.

Even in her last year of service she was together with Queen Elizabeth and United States one of the three fastest merchant ships in the world.

Only the 8 Sealand containerships built in the early 70's have been to date faster in service, 33 knots.
