Here are some of the photos I took of the inside of Queen Mary 2 last weekend. I didn't get to see anywhere near as much of the ship as I would have liked, but that's something for next time!

The Boston Cup, a.k.a. the Britannia Cup, was supposed to have been presented to Samuel Cunard when his first ship arrived in Boston in 1840 but the cup was actually not ready at that time, and it's not known when it was finally presented to Cunard. It went missing until 1967, when it was discovered in an antiques shop in Maryland, USA. Cunard bought the cup and put it aboard their Franconia, from where it found its way onto QE2, then Queen Mary 2 in 2004. It is located outside the Chart Room.
