Book now for a moonlight cruise on the QE2 to the Flower Pole to view the giant “roseberg”s up close. / Got a bit carried away with my imagination!!!!! after my first go with the Flood filter…then added the QE2 and then painted in the moon and stars
The most famous cruise liner in the world, the QE2, arrived on Tyneside for the last time today (Wed Oct 8th 2008). The Cunard vessel berthed at the Northumbrian Quay in North Shields on this morning, although it was not open to the public. The liner departed from the Tyne at 2200 and I was there to see it with my friend Mark Gardner and his lovely girlfriend Dee.. In November the QE2 will sail for Dubai where she will become a floating hotel. It was bought by investment group Dubai World for $100m (£55m).

This is a photo of the Queen Elizabeth 2 when it was in Sydney in February 2007. To get this shot, I was in the overseas passenger terminal. I really love how I was able to capture the men at work (or rest!) Here are a few categories to take a look at: / © 2007 Jacqueline Barreto. All rights reserved.
QE2 Final in this series. / My fave out of the lot.
On 21 September 2007, the QE2 visited Liverpool for the last time to mark the official opening of that city’s cruise liner terminal. She was launched at 20 September 1967. She is scheduled to be berthed permanently at the Palm Jumeirah development in Dubai in 2008 to be refurbished and become a floating hotel by 2009.
Another of the QE2 departing forever. I like the fact that she’s heading into the setting sun, complete with sunburst rays.

The QE2 comes home to her birthplace – the River Clyde for the last time on Sunday October 5th 2008; flanked by a flotilla of fellow Clyde vessels. She might be going to Dubai but she’ll always be ours. A fine ship built by proud men.
The most famous ship in the world, Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2, moored in Sydney’s Circular Quay. To give her well-to-do passengers something to look at as they dined on their spatchcock entrées and awaited her departure, it was arranged to have the Sydney Opera House positioned just across the Quay. In case you’re wondering how this image would look full size, here’s a 100% crop from a section of the image:
As I post this photo, the QE2, the most famous ship in the world, will be departing my home city and her home port for the last time, to become a floating hotel in Dubai. This is purely a documentary shot, captured before 9am this morning as the Queen waits for her big day. The day started off badly when strong winds caused the ship to run aground on a sandbank at the entrance to Southampton Water, but no damage was done and a fleet of little tugs pulled her into deeper water so she could sail home for the last time. Southampton is home to the greatest ocean liners in the world, but this old lady who is over 40 years old and has sailed 5.9 million miles will be sorely missed. Note the red poppy in the midground – the QE2 became a troop ship in the Falklands War (I was even there to see her leave) and Armistice Day is a perfect choice for her farewell.
The famous oceanliners, Queen Elizabeth 2 and her sister ship Queen Mary 2 (world’s largest oceanliner) both called into Sydney on the same night. A fireworks display marked the historic occassion.

Two out of the three Cunard Queens in my home city of Southampton today. This is the first and last time all three ships will be seen together in the UK, as the Queen Elizabeth 2 is being retired to become a tourist attraction in Dubai. In the foreground is the newest ship, the Queen Victoria and in the background, the oldest ship, the Queen Elizabeth 2. Unfortunately, the Queen Mary 2 was berthed further down the docks so couldn’t be included in the shot.
