Cunard, one of the greatest names in British shipping history, is looking for help from Daily Echo readers to help launch the biggest passenger liner the world has ever seen.
When the 150,000-ton megaliner, Queen Mary 2 leaves Southampton on her maiden voyage in 2004 the ship will carry a unique heritage trail around her massive decks that will tell the story of Cunard and its great liners.
Like everything else to do with this enormous project the display will be the largest of its kind on any ship afloat today.
Southampton, which has for decades been the home port of Cunard ships, will play a large part in the history exhibition which will be one of the main passenger features on QM2.
Cunard is looking for information from local people about their connections with Cunard ships whether as a crew member, a docker who worked alongside the liners when they were in port or perhaps as a passenger - the shipping line wants to hear your story.
