Cunard’s Fleet
Cunard Line’s first ship was the SS Unicorn, which was built in 1836. All of the company’s original fleet built between 1836 and 1850 had wooden hulls, as well as paddle wheels. Construction shifted away from the use of both in 1852. By 1971, there were 13 ships operated by the Cunard Line, 12 of which were cruise ships and one of which was a container ship. However, all of these ships were transferred or sold by 1998. Since 1998, there have been three ships in the Cunard Line’s fleet:
- Queen Elizabeth
- Queen Victoria
- Queen Mary 2
The Queen Mary 2 is an express ship, while the other two are standard cruise vessels. If problems occur on any of these vessels, those who are harmed should consider getting legal help from an attorney who is well-versed in the rules and laws governing maritime incidents.
