The Queen Mary 2 Offshore Near San Francisco
About five miles outside the Golden Gate, the Queen Mary 2 steams along at 14 knots in calm seas on her way into port.
The 1132-foot Ocean Liner Queen Mary 2 was built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique in 2004. Designed by Stephen Payne, Carnival Corp.. Owned by Cunard Line. Based at Southampton, England.
The Queen Mary 2 carries 2,592 guests with a crew of 1,253. She is powered by a 157,000-horsepower electric power plant, comprising four diesel engines and two gas turbines, which provide electric power to AC motors in four 20-megawatt propulsion pods. She is the largest passenger ship afloat, as measured by length, beam, and draft, although her displacement of 148,528 gross tons was surpassed in 2006 by Freedom of the Seas.
