ANCHOR FROM QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 (QE2) Donated to the City of Southampton by Cunard in March 2010, to commemorate the long association between the city and this iconic liner. The QE2 left her home port of Southampton on her maiden voyage in May 1969 and was a familiar sight in the port, carrying passengers to New York and many other destinations. In 1982 she served in the Falklands War as a troop ship and helicopter carrier. Her final voyage was in November 2008 when she received a huge and emotional send off from the people of Southampton.
