Interesting - take a serious hack saw and apply to a really big boat. Move disconnected parts apart and glue in a new bit that was prepared earlier. Apply a bit of masking tape to hide the join and set sail in your very, very big boat.

A good few cruise ships have been lengthened like that to extend their cruising life.

That must have been after she was altered from a liner to a cruise ship.

Soon after, the ship was sold to NCL and renamed Norway.

Really she was too big and was unpopular.

Norway was broken up in India in 2006

My first job when I left school was an apprenticeship in 1963 as a trainee sheet metal worker in a little factory down a cobbled stone mews in Euston North London. The factory designed and manufactured electric light fittings. Hanging on the wall of the designers office was a magnificent picture of the Canberra and as I stood gazing at the picture one of the designers slid open a drawer and produced a wad of photos of the interior. All the light fittings in the lounges and dining rooms were designed and made in that little back street factory. Sadly just like the Canberra the factory is no more. After five years l finished my apprenticeship then had a change of career. I went into the film industry cutting films in a lab owned by Warner Brothers.The last film I worked on in 1998 was Titanic for 20th century fox and sadly like the Titanic the lab is no more. Took early retirement and opened a B&B in Devon. Going on P and O brand new ship to norway in the summer.

Arrived in Fremantle last night and Queen Mary 2 was docked here, it was not on her schedule to be here.
Her itinerary has been changed, instead of going to Singapore and Hong Kong she will be cruising Australia to avoid the corona virus.
Two pics of her, one of her docked and the other of her sailing out into the sunset this evening.
