» 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!
