Anniversary weekend - Sunday

On Sunday we went to breakfast and then headed over to the Queen Mary. We purchased the First Class tickets which meant we got a a self guided tour, a behind the scenes tour, a self guided tour of the Scorpion Submarine, and tickets for the Ghosts and Legends of the Queen Mary. It was really interesting. There was so much to see, and again so much walking. I didn't think the Queen Mary would take that long, but we ended up staying there all day.


Some artwork in one of the ballrooms. The plank that's on the bottom to the right is an optical illusion. If you stare at it while you walk around it follows you.

Sean noticed this on the Bridge, look at the emblem. =)
Scorpion

In the disclaimer for the Scorpion it advises pregnant women not to tour the sub and after getting inside it I can totally see why. To get from room to room you had to go through these tiny tubes. If I were any further along I would have had to leave.
Torpedo tube.

Trying to show how big those tools are.

  1. That's pretty cool! It would be interesting to see the workings of a ship so huge and a sub
