The Two Queens Meet in Sydney Harbour

This was the purpose of our visit to Sydney – to watch the passing of the two Cunard Queens.

Queen Elizabeth 2 and Queen Victoria pass Fort Denison. The number of people on the water and on land watching the spectacle was truly amazing. As the two ships began their pass they began sounding their horns, culminating in a simultaneous blast that was audible for around 16km (10 miles).

The Queen Victoria dock at the Sydney International Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay, with the Sydney Opera House in the background. This gives some idea of the number of sight-seers around to see this magnificent vessel.

Queen Victoria at Circular Quay

The Queen Victoria dock at the Sydney International Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay. From this angle she appears to dwarf the Harbour Bridge. The funnel on the Queen Victoria won’t fit under the bridge by about 20 feet.
