Captain of the Queen [signed]

This is the autobiography of the most famous sea captain of them all. Captain Robert Harry Arnott is master of the Queen Elizabeth II, the largest and most luxurious passenger liner afloat. Captain Bob, as he is affectionately known, first went to sea at the age of 17 with the Blue Funnel Line. He was a humble midshipman then, but steady promotion followed. CAPTAIN OF THE QUEEN tells the story of his full career, culminating in that glorious moment when he was appointed Captain of the most famous passenger liner ever built. This is a story told with a unique insight and affectionate recollection. The most famous names in the world, from all walks of life, have sailed on the QE2. People have been drawn back to its unique combination of elegance and comfort. Many of the stories told are taken from the Captain's personal log, and the text is augmented with many illustrations from his own private collection.
