Queen Mary 2 gets RUDELY interrupted by Cruise Ship in HORN WARS
As QM2 and Europa battled it out... This is what I imagined they were saying. Read the full story: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/p/horn-wars I was aboard QM2 with my best mate Luke, who was joining me for his first ever QM2 cruise. Also aboard was Mike Brady from @OceanlinerDesigns We’d spoken by email before the cruise, and Mike kindly complimented me for my book A Photographic History of the Orient Line. We had arranged to meet Mike aboard the ship and watch the sail away together. On this day, the HAPAG-Lloyd cruise ship Europa was also in port. As QM2 prepared to depart, she sounded her giant Typhon Whistles (one of which is now 90 years old and came from the original Mary). Europa replied… well… actually kind of cut in… and, the horn wars started! — SUPPORT CHRIS: 📚 Buy My Books: https://www.frameandcross.com/books/ 👕 Buy My Merch: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com/ 🛳️ Subscribe to The Maritime Historian on Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/ 🛳️ BOOK A CRUISE: Whatever type of cruise you’re after, it’s important to have a knowledgeable cruise-focused travel agent to help you navigate the more than 300 cruise ships on offer.
