26 feet. I have seen the QE 11 a number of times when sailing from Southampton. We used to live on the coast at Bournemouth (UK), which overlooks the enterance of the Solent (bit of sea between mainland and the Isle of Wight.

My husband knew this one, along with any useless travel facts.

Best wishes

My sources say it is less than that, remember this is thousands of tons we are talking about.~

Let me rephrase that question, How many inches does it move per gallon?~

Inches??? I would guess 120 inches (or 10 feet)
