The Sleek Throughbred And Her Worthy Successor24 viewsMy Dad's (James A. Hypher's) photo from the final whole Cunard fleet gathering QE2 took part in, in Southampton in April 2008. This was an unplanned and short notice event due to QE2's final Cunard refit being a wetdock alongside the Western Docks instead of the usual drydocking at Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven. I had the day off Primary School for this bit of history.Thomas Hypher

Departing Manhattan on Sunday 17th August 200322 viewsMy Mum's (Gill Hypher's) photo. We had disembarked after our first trip onboard and were wishing we could've been on her return Transatlantic at this point, as we'd well and truly come under QE2's spell during those 6 nights!Thomas Hypher

Passing under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and into New York42 viewsMy Dad's (James A Hypher's) photo from the January 2008 tandem crossing with Queen Victoria.

Racing through a Force 9 gusting Force 10 in the Bay of Biscay (2)43 viewsMy Dad's (James A Hypher's) photo from our October 2004 voyage. Another photo in the series from this Bay of Biscay passage. My Dad was one of only two passengers out on deck at the time, and he was getting soaked in spray from the waves breaking over the bow but at the aft end of Boat Deck about 800 feet aft of the bow! Unfortunately I was busy being badly seasick for about a day and a half in our cabin at the bow but will never forget the motions of QE2 racing through the storm and our cabin creaking!Thomas Hypher

Racing through a Force 9 gusting Force 10 in the Bay of Biscay (1)34 viewsMy Dad's (James A Hypher's) photo from our October 2004 voyage. QE2 had left Southampton 7 hours late due to a very late arrival caused by the same stormy weather. We would go on to arrive in Vigo, Spain (our first port of call) on time after a day and a half of bombing along in the upper 20s of knots in what was originally scheduled to be two whole sea days. Captain McNaught definitely opened up the throttles.Thomas Hypher

Departing Rotterdam with one of several water salutes!19 viewsMy Dad's (James A Hypher's) photo from Friday 4th August 2006 (14 years ago today! - day of uploading this photo). We had a wonderful send off from Rotterdam including a choir, but almost girted the tug off our stern with our sheer power and torque even at 72rpm as we left the cruise terminal. My Uncle and Auntie watching from the dockside said the tug master only just recovered and their photos show how dicey it was. Family friend and fellow ship enthusiast Stephen Macey is in the photo.Thomas Hypher

An unexpected surprise and a dream come true37 viewsLate July 2005. A surprise, very rare visit to the bridge with the onboard nursery. QE2 was going nearly 28.5 knots. Vivid memories to last a lifetime and a moment of significant influence in my life.Thomas Hypher

Nasty Surprise, a particularly smokey tug!48 viewsNot sure this tug would pass emissions laws these days ;)

So sleek!69 viewsMy Dad's (James Hypher's) photo shared with permission. Taken on the morning of 23rd October 2004 in Vigo, Spain. We had just arrived on time after leaving Southampton 6/7 hours late due to bad weather and passing through a Force 9 gusting Force 10 in the Bay of Biscay at around 28 to 29 knots. QE2 was a mere couple of weeks from exceeding Aquitania's record for the longest serving Cunard Ocean Liner - she didn't look old or perform like an old ship!Thomas Hypher
