Original Queen Elizabeth

[ICRE1629]

Does anyone know how tall the original Queen Elizabeth was? From keel to tip of the funnel?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Not a complete answer I'm affraid:

 

Keel to top of superstructure 113 feet

Funnel - 80 feet above boat deck (forward), 78 feet, aft.

 

So I don't know if you can simply add the two together......or if there is some overlap.....

Hmm. I would think that, since the QE was such an important vessel that they would have that information posted somewhere. Thank you for your help.

This site has some info that might be of some use to you...

I couldn't find anything on the Queen Elizabeth, however I did discover the Queen Mary was 181 feet from keel to the top of the forward funnel. Although the two weren't exactly carbon copies, my guess is the QE would have been around that height, if not exact.

Thank you for all the help guys. The reason I ask for the height, is that I am doing a report on some of the more noted ocean liners of the 20th century.
