Cunard Line

Noteworthy

Queen Mary 2 uses an Arabic 2 rather than the Roman numeral used by monarchs because it's a sequel to the original ship.

The captains steer the Cunard liners with a single lever or joystick on the bridge.

The sound of Queen Mary 2's whistle carries for 10 mi but doesn't disturb passengers on deck.
