After a fun week end of work and painting ceilings, I bribed John into taking a trip to SF to see the QM2 sailinto the bay under the Golden Gate Bridge.










Some info on the boat.

The ship towers 200 feet above water, and is 1132ft long with 17 decks equal the height of a 23-story building. The ship is only 118 feet shorter than the Empire State Building.
Maneuvering a ship that size will be a first in the San Francisco Bay, and it will take several hours before the Queen Mary 2 actually docks.
The grey boat in shot us the US Jerremiah

Oooooooooh....thanks MMM. Great pics.

So when I win the Texas Lottery I'm going to book my tickets.................. roll (in my dreams) wink

When my mum turned 60 a couple of years ago she flew to New York City, we did the city for a couple of days the she cruised back on the QM2.

It's a big boat, dwarfed the WWII aircraft carrier dock nearby. lol

That sure is a big baby id love to see it .

The ships of royal caribbean the cruise line we use are gigantic compared with some other cruise ships the biggest is 1112 ' 20 ' shorter then the QM2.

the one we will travel on when we go to alaska R.O.T.S is only 960 " a dingy in comparision smile

Very good pictures M.

Not bad considering the crowds
