Thread: Sunday, January 13, 2008 - New York Harbor

Witness the making of maritime history as fireworks and fanfare mark the first and only meeting of Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth 2 and the new Queen Victoria
The regal fleet is scheduled to depart at 6:30 p.m. Queen Mary 2 will depart from her home port, Brooklyn Cruise Terminal while QE2 will depart from Pier 92 and Queen Victoria will depart from Pier 88 both at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. Then, the three Queens will rendezvous and sail past the Statue of Liberty during a spectacular fireworks celebration at approximately 7:00 p.m.

“This is an historic occasion for Cunard and New York, marking the only time that the three ships will be together…ever!” said Carol Marlow, president of Cunard Line. “More history will be made as our grand dame QE2 departs on her 26th and final World Cruise and Queen Victoria will depart on her maiden World Cruise,” added Marlow.

Stephen, if you get pictures that you can share with us, please post them here!

It's possible that an event like this might be broadcast on the news.


A few of the local networks have been mentioning this, and I won't be surprised if one of them will have live footage on the occasion.

Just keep your eyes peeled on the tube that night, and you might see everything.
(Including 'yours truly', who will be on the Mary, celebrating on the aft deck! )


Happy New Year!
