The loveable veteran Queen Elizabeth 2 is portrayed in foggy conditions
near the coast of England, sometime around the late 1980's. A late afternoon
sun filters through the fog to burnish her vast flank in reflected gold. Behind
her, in the mist, a tall school ship ghosts by.
Warm and comfortable, passengers sit inside at their afternoon tea, looking
out to enjoy the beauty brought about by the fog. Meanwhile, on the bridge,
personnel skillfully cope with the challenges it presents.
One of the best loved ships today, she represents the epitome of British
quality, a viable bridge between the classic liners of the thirties and forties
and today’s giant cruise ships.
