Must be Monday:eek::D

 

Container ship needs two tugs to get her around that tight corner!

[kazu]

It is a very nice shot of her. Cunard reminds me of HAL ships so much.

Nice close up of the Queen Elizabeth

Or the other way 'round?

[lka1012]

Close up, white trucks cannot be far behind

[Vict0riann]

White truck alert!

[kazu]

good question. Cunard was originally the White Star Line? I think?

 

HAL is pretty old - not sure how old Cunard is.

 

In any case, it's a nice sight. white truck :)

[kazu]

not very many viewers on the webcam. hope it isn't on automatic and we see our cruisers flashlights at least. getting some dark already.

 

Guess Lou & Dave heard me - they just panned :)

I think Cunard's been around since 1839, they bought out White Star much later. I think they are advertising their 150th anniversary deals this (or next?) year.

Cunard is 175 years old this year. They where operating back during the US Civil War.

At least QE and QV, they're essentially Signature ships in a slightly different color scheme.

I believe you are right, Ann, about them buying out White Star.

[PathfinderEss]

sounds like line handlers are not ready yet, but the Queen is ready to go.

My recollection is that England essentially forced Cunard to do so; I don't think it was in Cunard's plans.

I don't doubt that a bit, Roy.

Then for sure Cunard is older than HAL - so I guess HAL copied their lines - LOL - thanks

you learn something every day. Thanks Roy, I didn't know that part. It totally makes sense to as the Titanic did White Star in.

And I thought we might get out before dark.

[Vict0riann]

Not 150, I guess, 175 - I knew it was over 100 - HAL was 140 in 2013:

 

[lka1012]

Lines are down

[PathfinderEss]

Finally lines are dropping.

[erewhon]

Another cargo ship in before she can depart.

[lka1012]

Okay, I might like looking at the bridge, it reminds me of sitting on the balcony at the Hilton, but right now I want the Queen

 

Never minds. Thanks

view changed

[Vict0riann]

The bridge came on - I thought we might see Roy!:) Then everything went black. No picture at all, on any of the webcams.:eek:

[erewhon]

Queen Elizabeth sailing.
