Three Queens in New York

How cool is this? As the QV headed up the Hudson River towards its berth in New York you can see the QE2 ahead.

This is the start of the QE2's last cruise before it's sold off as a floating museum and hotel.

Cunard's flag ship, Queen Mary 2 also joined QV and QE2 in New York. The first and last time this has happened.

Ship Webcams

Regular Blog readers will know that, on my iGoogle page, I have the bridge webcams of Cunard's three cruise liners:

• Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2)


• Queen Mary 2


• Queen Victoria (their latest addition)

Normally these ships cruise around the world on seperate cruises and so are rarely in the same port at the same time........until now.

The crew of the Queen Victoria tend to move their webcam about to show different views. So, when the QV and QEII were in Southampton at the same time I thought it was really quirky that the QV should have its webcam pointing at the QEII. Obviously the QV was berthed behind the QEII which also had its webcam switched on.
