  • A truly magnificent sight on Sydney Harbour last night as Cunard's flagship Queen Mary 2 leaves Sydney Harbour.
    She is the only true Ocean Liner left in service and is capable of travelling at speeds of in excess of 30 Knots.
    She has a very elegant streamlined profile with a long bow and the tiered decks at the stern.

    Queen Mary 2.....probably the last Ocean Liner to be built Thanks to the brilliance of Naval Architect Stephen Payne and Micky Arison. She is the world's most famous liner as was QE2 and many of the great liners of years gone by. At 20 years she will leave cruise ships in her wake for another 20 years. A stunning lady.
    Never be another like her

      It's Interesting to note one of Queen Mary 2's whistles is from the original Queen Mary of 1936.
      If you listen to QM2 's whistle the very deep sound, is you hear is from the original ship.
      It's interesting to think that is the same whistle that sounded in Sydney Harbour in 1940 to take the troops to war.

    2015 Harmony of the Seas (362 meters. 226,963 GT, world record)
    2018 Symphony of the Seas (362 meters. 228,081 GT, world record)
    2020 Wonder of the Seas (362 meters. 236,857 GT, world record)
    And St Nazaire shipbuilders will build the largest cruising sailboat in the world, 220 meters long.

      The large funnel is functional and the two smaller funnels aft are for the incinerators to burn rubbish.
      Just as a matter of interest when you look at the main red and black funnel it sits on a large white casing with the ships name on it, inside that casing are two gas turbines that are used along with the main engines in the hull to get extra speed when needed.

      When she is doing her Atlantic Crossings which are currently 7 days sometimes the weather on the North Atlantic can be very unpredictable, fog or heavy seas that slows her down for a day or more, so they can make up time with the high speed to arrive in 7 days.
