Queen Elizabeth 2 at Gypsy Cove, Falkland Islands. January 1993.



During the QE 2's stay in the Falklands a party of children from Stanley School were invited on board. Their tour and comments were broadcast live on the Falkland Islands Broadcasting Station (FIBS).

When the group reached the bridge, one lad asked the Captain if he was the captain when the ship ran aground in America. The Captain, embarrassed, replied, "Yes, but I'm still here." Unfortunately, a little while later he wasn't.
