the QM2 and QE2

Sydney harbour tonight is a magnificent sight. This morning, the Queen Mary 2, the world's largest passenger liner arrived before dawn. This evening, she was joined by her older sister ship the Queen Elizabeth 2.

Queen Mary 2 is so big (23 storeys high) that she cannot fit under the Sydney Harbour Bridge nor berth at the International Terminal at Circular Quay, docking at the naval base instead.

We saw her in Southampton just before her maiden voyage and from where we were it looked like the Solent had grown an extra city at it's bank. Magnificent.
