Farewell New York QE2 with Queen Mary 2

Cunard's Queen Elizabeth 2 leaves New York for the final transatlantic crossing in tandem with Queen Mary 2 on 16th October 2008.

Good for you, I was on the QE2 filming you filming me. I was first on the QE2 in 1971/2 working and just had to do this trip 36years on. I also have 2 videos on KZbin. Good Luck.

I remember when the QE2 was a new ship arriving in NY in 1969. I didn't think it was nearly as attractive as the old Queens, and still don't, but 39 years later it looks pretty good, certainly better than these huge, ungainly cruise ships that are all over the place today.

Just wonderful, I was there on the QM2, what an emotional and fantastic experience.

Thanks for the video, wonderful to see QE 2 in tandem with QM2, camera work was well done, even although QE 2 was rising a wee bittie in the swells, but looks brilliant. QE2 was Scottish Shipbuilding and Engineering in its finest Ship to be lauched at Clydebank.

God Bless Queen Elizabeth 2.

I know:( I though Cunard had the most unique ships but then came the QV...

[@HamburgdasTorzurWelt]

Amazing footage !

[@stevehenrichs5091]

QM2/QE2 THE BIG APPLE IS GOING TO MISS YOU!

[@intrepidCRO]

amazing, you'll take me once across Atlantic :)

It's really sad that the new Queen Elizabeth, like the Queen Victoria, won't be a real ocean liner.

[@MartinIDavies]

New York City... do you miss her the QE2

[@phoenix1985]

The QE2 and QM2 are ocean liners, albeit also partially cruise ships. But several ships were designed for this, most notably the QE2, the Canberra, and the Rotterdam V. They have all the staples: high speed, buttoned up superstructure, good sea keeping qualities, a long flared bow, and a protected stern. The QV and other cruise ships have none of these qualities.

[@phoenix1985]

Everything they gained when building the QM2 they lost when they built the QV.

[@elmogetsnuked31]

I'll never see her again

[@rickyhermawan8979]

So sad 😔😓

[@javierbarrientos9927]

Unique

[@richiNomura707]

If I ever become millionaire to visit her in Dubai, I would absolutely do it

[@YawnGod]

Meh. To me, what defines an ocean liner is the steerage class, though I suppose that *technically* you are correct. However, in my humble opinion, no steerage class = transcontinental cruise ship. That simple.

[@Boccherini64]

it's a shame the new Queens aren't British!!!

[@johneddy908]

They're British-REGISTERED, though.

[@YawnGod]

QE2 and QM2 weren't real ocean liners anyway. Those have been long gone for a while now. Pound for pound, shipping goods overseas via ship is less expensive than by air, so as long as it costs more to transport my body overseas by ship than by air, ocean liners to me are extinct.
