I have posted a video of QE2's final departure from Stavanger, Norway on my YouTube account:

I have also posted some still photos I took of the departure from Stavanger (along with a few other pictures of QE2 during the same cruise):

Good stuff! There's also footage from a local TV station here:

I thought it very unfortunate that the "official" DVD purchased on board didn't have much on the departure from Stavanger, and in fact appeared to have used footage from an earlier sailaway when it was sunny and there was no send off!

 

Liked your explanation of the car lift, we were in 4245 just next to where you were standing and never did know what that door was for!

I have posted a video of QE2's final departure.......

 

Very good, especially the horn whistles from the steamers with the one who sonded like an American locomotive.

 

Thanks very much for sharing the wonderful impressions
