We now have twelve excellent photos added to the Gallery competition album but would love to see more photos of QE2 being assisted by a harbour tug. 

Time to check the photo albums and add your three best photos that fit the theme.

Just added my tuppence-worth. I think I was maybe thinking too far outside of the box with one of them though!

I have just realised that Cunarder Man's photo of QE2 departing  Zeebrugge was probably taken from Queen Victoria at the same time I was taking a photo of Queen Victoria from QE2!!!!
If you check both pictures, you will see the person in orange on QE2's bridge wing in both of them.

Small world indeed!

It is a small World, you were so near but so far from Cunarder Man taking photos from the opposite angle.

Those on QV had the better view !!

What are the chances, all these years later, of the two photos being uploaded to this little old website, and not only that but you spotting the coincidence.  Remarkable.

Should put a lottery ticket on!
