The RMS Queen Mary 2 will leave Charleston this evening at 7 pm. Named after Mary of Teck, the Cunard Luxury Cruise ship was the largest in the world @ 151, 400 gross tons until Royal Caribbean christened the Freedom of the Seas @ 158,000 gross tons. The QM2 still holds the record as the largest cruise liner, but not cruise ship.
The RMS (Royal Mail Ship) QM2 always causes a commotion when she comes to port of call, as
if the vessel is royalty herself. I had a chance to go down to the cruise terminal and check her out, and dang she is one big woman! Since the guys and I were dressed in Native American attire, as we looted the tea aboard the ship and threw it over-board into the Charleson Harbor, (Don't tread on my with your Stamp Tax there King George) I didn't have a camera on me, so I am borrowing a photo from T Walker.
