Despite the comments so far on this thread, I think this would have been a magnificent sight to see.
"At 151,000 tons and 1,131 feet long, there has never been a ship this large in San Francisco Bay. The Queen Mary 2 is so large that it had to wait for a change in the tidal current to dock at Pier 27 under Telegraph Hill.
It spent the twilight and early evening anchored off Treasure Island.
The Queen Mary 2 sails tonight at 8 for Honolulu and the second leg of its around-the-world voyage. There will be a lunch for important visitors today, but members of the public will not be allowed aboard for security reasons.
The ship will be full again when it sails tonight. About 2,000 passengers are boarding in San Francisco."
Looks like shes just slipping under the Golden Gate.

Ah, yes, the QM2...one of the few queens on earth bigger and deeper-voiced than Harvey Fierstein.

So enormous to us, and yet a mere speck in the vastness of the ocean. Nothing man makes can impress the ocean.
