Cunard's Three Queens Meet in the Mersey to Celebrate 175th Anniversary of Cunard
Cunard's Three Queens Perform River Dance on the Mersey in Salute to Liverpool Where the Company Began 175 Years Ago
For the first time, Cunard?s three ship fleet gathered together in spectacular fashion in Liverpool, its spiritual home, as the company marked its 175th anniversary. The event, featuring the largest passenger ships ever to muster together on the River Mersey in this way, was watched by hundreds of thousands of spectators.
Flagship Queen Mary 2 sailed from the Liverpool berth up to the mouth of the Mersey this morning (25 May) to meet her sisters, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. The three ships then sailed in close single file down the river to Liverpool's Pier Head with its iconic Three Graces: The Royal Liver Building, The Cunard Building and The Port of Liverpool Building.
Queen Mary 2 lined up in the river opposite the Cunard Building ? Cunard?s headquarters for nearly 50 years until 1967 ? with her sister ships sailing ahead of her to create a three ship line-up to the delight of spectators lining the banks of both sides of the river.
Just 400 metres apart, the three ships slowed to a stop in the river and then performed a graceful 180 degree synchronised turn to starboard. At the mid-point of the turn, all three ships lay across the river, creating the spectacle of the fleet?s three bows dramatically set against the backdrop of Liverpool?s famous Three Graces.
With the full turn completed and the 150,000 ton Queen Mary 2 now in the leading position, her two 90,000 ton sister ships then glided slowly towards either side of her to create an arrowhead formation, with the flagship just ahead of her two consort ships.
Then the entire fleet lined up three abreast across the river just 130 metres apart,...
