I wonder why the ship only has one ...don't laugh..."smoke stack"? There were 4 on the Titanic, right? I remember one of them came crashing down on Leonardo's friend!!!

sory Oma I cannot find out why she has only one funnel although I did discover that the QE2 actually has a pair of them
I also found a good photo site with some amazing pics taken as QM2 arrived in Southampton last December http://pjhrailpics.fotopic.net/show_...n.php?id=89162
But the images there are so many and large that it is extremely slow loading even worse than Dunkin' Douglas' friggin smilies
including this sample shot to show the massive size of her

so try this site with thumbnails:- http://images.fotopic.net/?id=2142784&outx=760&oq=0
Of course the original Queen Mary had 3 funnels

My guess is that they felt they could make better use of the space the extra funnels would have taken up
Note my two original pics are not being displayed as I write this because the server has ran out of bandwidth apparently
so try again later!!!
