» Queens Sail-past
Ships Attending:
{Queen Mary 2}
{Queen Elizabeth 2}
Date: {16/04/05}
Hello all! Im back! apologies for my lack of updates of late - hopefully this little lot will put me back in your good books. On Saturday the 16th April 2005 I was lucky enough to be a part of the Cunard Queens Sail-past which happened in Southampton. The intitial shots were taken of the interior during a fleeting mini-tour of the QM2 and the following were taken from a smaller craft as we followed up behind QM2 as she approached and past QE2.
What a spectacle! The ships horns blew and although I knew they were loud, nothings quite the same as being what seemed like only a few feet away from this immense wall of metal. I eagerly snapped away and even though the day was grey managed to get some shots which hopefully give you an idea of the day's events. QE2 looked every bit as important as her newer sister and watching the watching the two sail off to go their separate ways was a moment I won't forget - fantastic.
Enjoy the photos!
