Three days of celebrations
have begun in Liverpool for
Cunard, marking 175 years since
the cruise line was first formed.
In a stunning nautical display,
the line’s three vessels Queen
Victoria, Queen Mary 2 and
Queen Elizabeth joined together
on the Mersey river, performing a
synchronised 180° turn in unison.
At the mid-point of the turn,
the three Queens were spread
across the river, followed by ‘175’
sounded on the QM2’s horns –
one blast, followed by seven and
five more, concluded with a flyover
by the Red Arrows.
“This moment has brought the
relationship between Cunard
and the Mersey alive, and that
together, Liverpool and Cunard
have paid tribute to the people
who have created our 175
years of shared history,” Cunard
president Richard Meadows said.
