Here are some photos of the brand new QUEEN ELIZABETH departing Sydney at 1200 on 23 Feb 2011.
The ship is on her maiden World Cruise and departed the harbour escorted by a fireboat and a flotilla of watercraft. I had a ringside seat at Garden Island to watch her departure from Circular Quay and passage down the harbour towards the open sea. Near Fort Denison she was passed and saluted by the arriving BALMORAL, and also exchanged a whistle salute with the QUEEN MARY 2 (alongside Fleet Base East).
