Cruise ship Queen Mary 2 going to Rotterdam 22.07.09 (5)
The RMS Queen Mary 2 is a Cunard Line ocean liner named after the earlier Cunard liner Queen Mary, which was in turn named after Mary of Teck, the Queen Consort of George V. It does not commemorate the reign of Queen Mary II. At the time of her construction in 2003 by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique, the Queen Mary 2 was the longest, widest and tallest passenger ship ever built, and at gross tonnage (GT) of 148528 tons, was also the largest. She lost the gross tonnage distinction to Royal Caribbean International's 154407 GT Freedom of the Seas in April 2006, but Queen Mary 2 remains the largest ocean liner (as opposed to cruise ship) ever built, and her width, length, and waterline breadth are unsurpassed by any other passenger ship.[4] Moreover, the Queen Mary 2 displaces approximately 76000 tons; the Royal Caribbean Freedom ships displace about 64000 tons. The Queen Mary 2 was the first major ocean liner built since the Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1969. Queen Mary 2's facilities include 15 restaurants and bars, five swimming pools, a casino, a ballroom, a theatre, and a planetarium. General characteristics: Tonnage: 151400 gross tons Displacement: 76000 tonnes (approx) Length: 1132 ft (345 m) Beam: 135 ft (41 m) waterline, 147.5 ft (45.0 m) extreme (bridge wings) Height: 236.2 ft (72.0 m) keel to funnel Draft: 33 ft (10.1 m) Decks: 13 passenger decks Installed power: 117 MW (157000 horsepower) CODAG Propulsion: Four 21.5 MW electric propulsion pods: 2 fixed and 2 azimuthing ...

QUEEN MARY 2 MEETS QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 IN DUBAI , NEW PHOTOS!
Hot off the press!!! The newest photos of QE2 in Dubai where the Queen Mary 2 reunites with her sister in waiting. The Queen Mary 2 was on her 2nd world cruise after visiting Japan & many other ports of call. It was also the 2nd time the 2 vessels had reunited since they last departed each other in October one month before the qe2's infamous final voyage to Dubai , it was said it would be the last time they would ever meet but this was truly a rare moment. It was a big surprise to the passengers aboard who saw the QE2 on the horizon as the Queen Mary 2 arrived in Port Rashid that morning. As nice as it was to see the 2 vessels together once again as they should be in the end... It was also is a very bittersweet sight for many who sailed with her. Unfortunately the passengers not were allowed to tour QE2 while they were in port. The Queen Mary 2 then leaves the QE2 for the final time at the end of her port of call in Dubai as seen from the Costa Victoria. It's May already & still her new owners have not yet released the final plans on what they will do with her in her final renovations. It's a sad sight as we also see other vessels from across the world reunite with QE2 docked in Dubai. Each photo a heart breaker , it is like shes been left for dead by her own people yet the British people never got a fair trial on what they wanted for their beloved national icon. To the president of Cunard & Alistair Greener it's a beautiful thing that she's in Dubai sitting there for 7 ...
