Queen Mary 2

World's biggest liner sets sail.

The world's biggest and most expensive cruise liner ever built has set sail for the first time.

Cunard's 150,000-tonne Queen Mary 2, whose home port will be Southampton, sailed from the French port of Saint-Nazaire for sea trials.

The new Cunard flagship cost £540m and will accommodate some 2,600 passengers and 1,250 crew members.

Coincidence?

Could be, but did Queen Mary have ber bottom cleaned before she left?
