This is one big ship. The largest to visit Sydney, and presumably Australia. Apparently not the biggest cruise ship, however, but the largest ocean liner. Apparently the largest ship, which services the American cruise market is not an ocean liner. The QE2 will also be in Sydney this week. I have a vivid memory of watching the launching of the QE2 from our little Scottish classroom in the late 1960s on a fuzzy black and white television. Teaching stopped and we all watched the launch from John Browns Shipyard in Clydebank. Another great moment of Scottish History.
