Queen Mary II - 2004

a clear view of the QM2 in NY harbor

Mom loved sailing; remember her trip to Europe was on cruise ship M.S.Aurelia so it doesn't surprise me at all that she went to Portland to see the Queen Mary II. October 9th, 2004 was a foggy day in Maine and the QM2 only ported over night.

The 1st photo is a clear shot of the QM2 sailing past the Statue of Liberty (used by permission). The next is Mom's clipped newspaper article (photo by Rich Obrey).
