Despite the âSchmuddelwetters,â the people had spent the whole day on Uferwegen, Terrassenlokalen, and Landungsbr14cken. More than 400 barkassen escorted the 345-meter-long ship to the city's ferry port. There was a Volksfest there in the 19 hours between the Luxusliners' departure and arrival to Mitternacht. As the day's high point, the âQueen Mary 2â was swivelled in a spectacular manoeuvre in the engen Hafenbecken and prepared for its departure. On board the Luxusliners were passengers from all over the world, most notably Germans, Americans, and Britons. Limousines were waiting for them to transport them into the city. Others used the ship's stay as a jumping off point for a trip to Berlin. However, many onlookers were disappointed when they learned that the ship would not be open for inspection. Additionally, for security reasons, the âQueen Mary 2â was closed to visitors. Only 120 Gste were charged for a Wohlfahrts-Lunch in support of the Aktion âHamburg hilftâ.

Brian is an ocean liner scholar, author, and collector who travels extensively and often teaches at sea on ocean liner history. Along with his extensive knowledge of the R.M.S. Queen Mary, Brian has a fascination for the R.M.S. Olympic and has written a book about the ship. Brian's other favorite ship is Cunard's 1949 Caronia, which he co-authored a book on with renowned nautical author and close friend Bill Miller. It was a joy working with Brian on this project.
