Mother of all ships
Look at the size of this thing docked in Northumberland Quay in North Shields. It's the QE2 on its last voyage before being converted into a floating hotel and sailing on to Dubai. There were fireworks and deafening horn noises to celebrate as it sailed away up the Tyne. It goes faster backwards than most big ships go forwards. Must be a bugger to reverse park though especially if the captain is female.
