Free Wisdom Online: Queen Mary in San Francisco

Page Content

A friend called me on Sunday morning suggesting that we go to the Marina to see [Queen Mary](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Queen_Mary_2) (or more precisely "Queen Mary 2") - the largest ship to ever pass under the Golden Gate Bridge, with bare 10 meters of clearance.  (As I later read, QM is the tallest ship in the world - and until last year the largest by tonnage - so the fact that it's the tallest ship to pass under the bridge just follows a forteriori.)  It was in fact quite a cite.  Most amusing perhaps was the assortment of "groupie" boats following QM as it was entering the bay.  And of course there was a huge number of people like us observing the entrance from the marina.
