QM2 Drydock Pics?

[OceanLiner]

We are fairly resourceful bunch. Does anyone have any pictures or links to the current QM2 drydock repairs?

HAMBURGCruiser...very interesting information. Thank you for sharing. I'm sure we'll all want to see the progress, especially those of us booked on the first cruises after the pod repair!

Cheers, Penny

The current repairs do not start until the 11th November but the site below may get something (it is in German but it is easy to navigate)

If anyone knows of any photos of the May dry dock and the actual damage to the pod I would be very interested to see them. I think that Cunard may have embargoed them?!:confused:

As I write, the QM2 is in the Western Approaches, past the Scillys en-route for Southampton tomorrow morning:

So tomorrow we should be able to track her progress to Hamburg.

Thanks for the link GuernseyGuy!

I was very surprised to see how many ships are near the south west coast; awesome.

Excellent videos. The second in the series has a remarkable shot of QM2 turning around, and the fourth captures the sound of the horn. Thank you very much.

There is no doubting that fact that is her! Thanks for the original post HamburgCruiser.

I'm disappointed, she must have just been passing by that webcam because she is gone now.

 

Isn't this her at this location?

Thanks so much Hamburg cruiser for all these links.

Will this be your first voyage on the Queen coming up?

[OceanLiner]

Thanks HamburgCruiser, that shot of her with the mist is really great. You really came through!:)

Hi cusyl, don't be disappointed we have presently just very bad, rainy weather in Hamburg.

The webcam of HansaTreuhand is not showing the QM2 but a Container Terminal opposite their office.

The RadioHamburg webcam is changing views from time to time but presently having the best direct view on QM2 in the Blohm & Voss dock of all the webcams you find at www.htk-hamburg.com

Try some others by just clicking in the picture to enlarge it.

You will find her at "St.Pauli Landungsbrücken", "Cap San Diego" (just the rear), "Hamburg Hafen" (from time to time)," Blick auf Blohm + Voss Schwimmdock" (hidden behind the floating dock)

Good viewing:)

PS: We made a TA with the QM2 from NY to Hamburg in July 2006 and now my wife and I are infected an booked already Norway and Caribic for 2207 and 2008. This is surely the best infection we have ever suffered from.

[jgsmuzzy]

the weather there is terrible! I saw her last night on one of the cams as she was lit up like a Christmas tree, I will look at all of those cams again later in the hope that the weather will have improved ;)

[guernseyguy]

There's one of her here:

Weather does look pretty grim.....
