It was historic to say the least to see the Queen Mary 2 pass under the Golden Gate Bridge. One mammoth invention of the Industrial era commingling with another. I couldn't help but wonder if the soul in each even marveled at each other. The Queen Mary 2 is known as the grandest, most magnificent ocean liner ever built. She is in all her Glory: 1132' long and 113' longer than the original Queen Mary; 147' longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall; equals the length of 41 double decker london buses end to end; her Whistle can be heard for up to ten miles; she carries a guest capacity of 3056 passengers with a crew of 1253; and she cost a whopping $800 million to build. The Queen Mary 2 was visiting the Golden Gate as part of her Maiden World Cruise which set sail from Fort Lauderdale. The 81 day cruise stops at the worlds most dazzling destinations including Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney, Cairo and San Francisco, and storied lands like the South Pacific, Cape Horn, Southeast Asia and India.
