ICRE1629 Posted May 30, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Does anyone know how tall the original Queen Elizabeth was? From keel to tip of the funnel? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guernseyguy Posted May 30, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Not a complete answer I'm affraid: Keel to top of superstructure 113 feet Funnel - 80 feet above boat deck (forward), 78 feet, aft. So I don't know if you can simply add the two together......or if there is some overlap..... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICRE1629 Posted May 31, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hmm. I would think that, since the QE was such an important vessel that they would have that information posted somewhere. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomica Posted May 31, 2006 #5 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I couldn't find anything on the Queen Elizabeth, however I did discover the Queen Mary was 181 feet from keel to the top of the forward funnel. Although the two weren't exactly carbon copies, my guess is the QE would have been around that height, if not exact. http://www.queenmary.com/factsandhistory.php?page=statistics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICRE1629 Posted June 1, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Thank you for all the help guys. The reason I ask for the height, is that I am doing a report on some of the more noted ocean liners of the 20th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
