A paying off penant is a special flag given as a thank you to the ship, it's one foot long for each year of service, so QE2's was 39 feet long. They made 3, one was left in Halifax (Birth Place of Sir Samuel Cunard), one in Liverpool (where Cunard Line as founded) and one in Southamtpon (QE2's home port) |
