CND Headlines - When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth

Do you remember what you were doing in 1967? If you are one of the Beatles, you were releasing the Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. If you are Queen Elizabeth, you were christening Cunard's new ocean liner, Queen Elizabeth 2.

And thanks to the University of Glasgow, you can step back to the late 1960's and see QE2 being built (which is quite different from the way it's done today) in an online exhibit of 70 previously-unpublished photos. You can also see how ultra-modern and "'70's" she looked when she was new (the ship, not Her Majesty).

The exhibit, along with some fascinating commentary, can be found at http://www.gla.ac.uk/qe2/
