Queen Mary 2 - A Legacy of Pride by Gordon Bauwens.


Queen Mary 2 - A Legacy of Pride by Gordon Bauwens.

Celebrating her first five years in service, Cunard's stately flagship, Queen Mary 2, embarked on her maiden round-Britain cruise in October 2009. During this special voyage, QM2 entered Clyde waters for the first time on October 19, paying homage to the river which began the Cunard dream in 1840 and built over 100 of her illustrious predecessors. Outstanding among these were, Britannia, the very first Cunarder, Lusitania, Aquitania, Caronia, and of course, QM2's legendary Queen predecessors, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, and the iconic QE2. All were launched into these same Clyde waters before playing their parts in making the name of Cunard so highly esteemed throughout the maritime world. This highly detailed painting by Gordon Bauwens portrays QM2 as originally scheduled around sunset and escorted by PS Waverley. The mighty flagship is seen bidding farewell to the Clyde, bound for Liverpool. In this, QM2 followed exactly in the wakes of the very first Clydebuilt Cunarder, Britannia, and the last, QE2, during her emotional farewell round-Britain cruise in October 2008.

 Launched on 21st March 2003 as the new flagship of the Cunard fleet, the Queen Mary 2 represents the very pinnacle of ocean liner design, not just in her incredible size and speed, but in the quality of her build and the sumptuousness of her interior.  At 345m long, she is the largest liner ever built and, since her inaugural cruise in January 2004, she has covered over 1.5 million nautical miles and carried 1.3 million passengers.

Queen Mary 2 - Queen of Them All by Ivan Berryman.
 On 13 January 2008, a unique event in maritime history took place when Cunard's three magnificent <i>Queens</i> met in New York Harbor for the first and last time.  The legendary <i>Queen Elizabeth 2</i> led the regal procession under the Verrazano Bridge during her final world cruise. <i>QE2</i> had also just enjoyed a combined transatlantic crossing with her brand new fleetmate, <i>Queen Victoria</i>, on the first leg of her own maiden world cruise.  As the pair approached the entrance to the Hudson, they were joined by the mighty Cunard flagship, <i>Queen Mary 2</i>, to make a grand entrance the likes of which Lady Liberty will never see again.  In life, the majestic trio arrived and left in darkness. Artist Gordon Bauwens, whose work hangs aboard all three Cunard <i>Queens</i>, was commissioned to portray the event as many would have preferred, with the liners dramatically bathed in early morning sun.
