On Friday 9th May, Cunard celebrated the 10th anniversary of RMS Queen Mary II coming into service. The three Cunard Queens were all berthed at Southampton. I was only able to get to Southampton for early evening and to see the “birthday” fireworks. Here are a few of the images I was able to capture.

Nice set Keith. Those liners always evoke the memory of luxury and golden years of yore,
a time of chivalry, and civility.

Great job on those fireworks shots.

Sury, Thank you. They are huge ships but to me they lack the elegance of their earlier namesakes. It was a very impressive sight that was made even more memorable when all three ships sounded their horns together. An amazing sound.

the-Hefay. Thank you . They are my first attempt at taking photographs of a firework display.

I agree these modern ships lack the graceful lines and elegance of their namesakes of yesteryears.
I am sure they more than compensate for the "ride comfort" and spaciousness the new ones offer.
