Queen Mary 2 in San Francisco
09Feb07
As you might have heard, Queen Mary 2 was in San Francisco this past weekend. QM2 is the tallest ship ever built and for that reason the tallest ship to have ever passed under the Golden Gate. (I suppose this implies that the Golden Gate bridge is tall enough to allow _any_ passenger ship to pass underneath.) Here are a couple of photos.
Check out all the “groupie” boats in the second picture. I got more pictures of this event here if anyone cares to procrastinate more.
I was there too. You might want to watch a short video I made of QM2’s entrance to the bay.
It’s pretty spectacular. See it on YouTube at
