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.

QE2 Sets Sail for the Last Time

A few days ago Cunard's ex-flag ship, the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), set sail for New York on the start of its last cruise before becoming a floating hotel and hotel in Dubai later this year.

Accompanying the QE2 is the newest addition to Cunard's fleet, Queen Victoria (QV). I believe this is the first time two of Cunard's ships have crossed the Atlantic "in tandem".
As you know, Cunard's ships have webcams on their bridges. QV tends to move theirs around to show different shots.
So, how cool is it that they swing the webcam around to the left and right so you can see the QE2!!
