Oops! Cruise liner stuck in the Solent mud

The world's most famous cruise liner, the QE2, briefly ran aground on her way into Southampton Water this morning in strong winds.

None of the 2,700 passengers or crew were injured, and when three tugs arrived to pull her clear, the 70,000-ton ship continued on to Southampton at about 0610.

Comment and discussion from the forum...
Didn't the first Queen Elizabeth make a visit to the Bramble Bank, soon after WW2? jhr
