Great to see a proper looking ship in after all the "Glasshouses".

Sad to think we won't be seeing her again.


Seeing her for the first time after leaving the mooring.

Are you really allowed this close?

Looking at her from across the main channel

Customary wake shot with a bit of history (now) in the distance.

The sound in this short video does not do it justice - you cannot believe the "feeling" of the sound of her horn as the waves hit you. When I heard it first I was completely astounded by it.

QE2 sounding her horn as she rounds Spit Bank Light.

A "local" website with plenty of shots of her.

The Peoples Republic of Cork

I hope you enjoyed these shots,

Jason.
