Fascinating - The RMS Queen Elizabeth pulling into New York with servicemen returning home after the end of World War 2, 1945. She could carry 15,000 people at a time, including 900 crew members. The trip from The British Isles to the east coast of the United States usually took 5 to 7 days. During her service in World War 2, the RMS Queen Elizabeth transported more than 750,000 troops and sailed a total of 500,000 miles.
