In January 2011, the brand-new Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth sailed straight into a violent Force 11 Atlantic storm during her very first transatlantic crossing — just three months after entering service. While waves crashed over her decks and passengers held on inside, she pushed on toward New York for a once-in-a-generation moment: a reunion of all three Cunard Queens beside the Statue of Liberty. This is the true story of the storm, the ships, and the night the "Royal Rendezvous" almost didn't happen.
