Perhaps even more "wonderfully shot" if taken just a few steps towards the water to eliminate people and other distractions???
Thanks for your comment.

She turns heads wherever she goes. A great ship that is the end of the line for her type, unfortunately.

Ocean Liners are a separate and magnificent class of ships. A vanishing breed. A new one, like se was then, is truly a BIG DEAL and deserving of the salutes and attention she got. As did the QE II back in 1970 or so.

[quote=ClarkJohnson]I recall that Cunard makes the distinction between it’s “ocean liners” and “cruise ships.” The implication, of course, is that the “Queens” are real ships that can handle oceans while the other lesser types can only float around the Caribbean with lots of vacationers.
My wife and I were fortunate enough to take a cruise on the QMII some years ago, and I was on deck with a nautical GPS as we left port one evening. I watched the readout in amazement as this huge ship steadily accelerated up to 25 knots over the course of only a few minutes. Impressive.[/quo

Supposed to take a ride on her this summer. New York to Halifax and points in between including Boston for fourth of July fireworks.
