Chris Wells appointed Master of Cunard 's new Queen Elizabeth |
||||||||||||||

Chris Wells, who joined Cunard as second officer on Queen
Elizabeth 2 in 1992, has been appointed Master of Cunard Line's new 90,000 gross
ton liner, Queen Elizabeth, which will enter service in October 2010. After joining Cunard and QE2, Captain Wells worked his way through the ranks to become staff captain. He later was seconded to the Queen Mary 2 New Build Team and spent 18 months at the St Nazaire shipyard. Having seen the ship develop from the beginning and bringing her into service as Staff Captain, Captain Wells was extremely proud when appointed to the command of Queen Mary 2 last year. Peter Shanks, President and Managing Director of Cunard Line says: "It is a well deserved honour for Captain Wells to be appointed Master of Queen Elizabeth. He will be a fine leader for all of our colleagues working with him on Queen Elizabeth. His experience on both QE2 and Queen Mary 2 will ensure he continues the famous traditions of Cunard Line". Commenting on his appointment, Captain Wells says: "Bringing Queen Elizabeth up Southampton Water to her home port will be one of the proudest moments of my life, and I very much hope that the people of Southampton and beyond will take the ship to their hearts as they have all the Cunard Queens since Queen Mary was launched in 1934; Queen Elizabeth certainly follows in that great tradition. |
