Cruise liner Q4, Clydebank, Scotland
May 08, 1967 - Q4 Will Be A Go Anywhere Liner: Scheduled for launching by H.M. The Queen on September 20, Cunard's Q4 grows on the berth at John Brown's Clydebank Yard. The slack lines of Q4 are now emerging from the mass of steelwork. Her three boilers will be the largest power units of any passenger ship. They will each produce310, 000 lbs. of steam per hour at maximum power. For passengers - there will be new standards of comfort. Every room will have its own bath or shower and toilet and the Q4 will provide more open deck space than any other passenger ship. This go anywhere liner - she can pass through the Panama Canal and call at any major cruise port in the world - will provide really big ship holiday facilities to ports served previously by the smaller cruise ships.
