Queen Elizabeth II - Sold for Scrap and broken up
The MS Queen Elizabeth 2, which was purchased back in 2008 for conversion to a luxury hotel in Dubai, has reportedly been sold for scrap to Chinese interests for £20m. The original conversion plans were scuttled by a credit crunch in Dubai shortly after the ship purchase. Last July we posted about a more modest hotel conversion plan for the QE2, which has now also fallen through.
