Here are a handful of my pictures from the joint visit to NYC of QE2 and QM2.

 

I want to publicly complain to Cunard and anyone silly enough to listen about sailing down the harbor in the dark and not together, so we could all see the ships together. (whine, whine!!!)

Nice job, Remington. I especially like the third photo; the one of QM2 backing out of the pier.

 

Lucky dog.

Great Photos Remington. I was at the Battery with my camera, but I just couldn't get a decent night photo. Actually, I thought it was more effective when each ship sailed down the river alone - but I think the QE2 should have led the parade - by the time the QM2 had come and gone, she stole a little fire from the QE2's entrance. And we have to thank mother nature - it rained until the moment the QM2 backed out of her berth, and it held off until the moment the fireworks were over and the two ships headed out to sea.
