That's not the QE2

You can find the original Queen Mary on Google Earth but not the 'QE1'...

That's because it's at the bottom of Hong Kong harbour!

Precisely - I figured it out eventually!

It's fascinating to track down the various old/famous ships around the world - so far I've found USS New Jersey, TS United States, HMS Vixen, HMS Belfast, SS Great Britain, Gerogios Averoff, Warrior, Mikasa, Buffel, M33, U995, Solve (this has moved since I found it in Gothenberg), Cerberus, Schorpioen and the oldest ironclad of all, Huascar (1865). www.hazegray.org/navhist/gun_ship.htm

The keel and boilers of it are, but most of it was cut-up for scrap, some it ended up recycled as rebar for use in the HK metro system.
