QE2 passing Artemis in Oslo

Here is my video of QE2 passing Artemis, sorry the picture quality its not very high, but it's the only way I could get it to upload. Picture might not be too good, but the sound is wonderful. :D

Love those whistles (horns).

 

Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and also makes the eyes watery.

Gotta love the sound of QE2, particularly when there's any other ship around to compare her with!

 

Hearing those horns from my 2-deck cabin last Saturday evening, while asleep in my cabin, gave me a warm glow. And hearing them on the Clyde in September (video also on YouTube) did the same.

 

Hope they keep her voice at least alive in Dubai...

Hope they keep her voice at least alive in Dubai...

 

Or I hope her voice makes it to MV Queen Elizabeth......

 

At least on our last trip we're well placed to hear the whistle - as well as the fog horn at night. I love hearing this as I lie in bed - wonderfully relaxing.

 

I can't believe that in a year's time she'll be gone from us for ever.

What were they saying to each other? There was a lot more than the usual 3 long blasts each. Almost like morse at the end.

Very Nice

 

I always like to hear the whistles - especially if they go 'off-script':D

One of my sailaway favourites included an extended 'chat between ships'

btw you might want to edit your description if it is at all possible on YouTube

This is the moment that Artemis passed QE2 in Oslo Fjord on the 9th December 2008

 

you seem to be sailing in the future :)

That whistle really is the most evocative sound. Thank you very much. Jane

Thanks for that Lanky Lad, QE2 is so distinctive-----would love to know if QE2 really did let Artemis have the last HOOT

While we are all going horn.... whistle happy, I have one to contribute. After the 40th Anniversary trip I stayed over in Southampton and this is QE2 heading off to Canada.

 

 

I should be adding a few more videos in the next week or so and 1 should have horn sound passing QM2 on the last night of our trip.

 

Ho Ho HO.

Many thanks for the link. I was on board Artemis. QE2 looked great as she passed.
