I would be thrilled just to watch her come into port. She's hugh!!!
Yes indeed. Sometime in the 50s the S/S United States won the "blue riband" (fastest crossing); my father took me to Southampton docks and there was the Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary and United States all in a row. Awesome sight. Some New Yorkers were probably just as lucky too.

SS United States. Now, there's some history.
Is she parked on the east coast ?

I bike daily on the hudson river past the Passenger Ship Terminal in Manhattan. Occasionaly there are 3 ships docked. The real treat is when the QE2 is in town. Fleet week is also impressive.
