Personally, the only ships I've ever embarked on are the cheesy star cruises. So when I read on the papers that on the 20th February 2007, two majestic sister ships [RMS Queen Mary & RMS Queen Elizabeth] are going to dock in Sydney's Harbour, I was hyped to go have a look.
We didn't get to go in the afternoon because everyone else was as hyped as I was and there was major traffic congestion. Hence, we decided to go at night at 11pm albeit to farewell one of them.
We were standing on the middle of the Sydney Harbour Bridge at 1045pm and we could see the ships in all their royal glory. Here are a few snaps:

RMS Queen Elizabeth
RMS Queen Mary
Queen Mary was the one leaving for Hong Kong that night and from the picture you can see all the little ships surrounding her in the water sending her off. While she was leaving the captain sounded the horn "Bhorrrrrrrrrrrrr".
I am not even a ship-loving person and I can't explain it but I was so elated watching it!
