QM2 spent two days here last Sat & Sun along with 4 other cruise ships.
Then the Rotterdam arrived after taking a beating from the remenants of a
hurricane on it's England to US trip. Seems the engines went south as 10 to
15 meter waves rolled the ship around. Some passengers beaten up bouncing
off furniture etc.

A friend who lives on Deer Isle, Maine sent a newspaper clipping about
the recent arrival of the Queen Mary II in Frenchman Bay at Bar Habor, ME.
The ship is 1,132 feet long and weighs 151,400 tons, and in a photo
looks like an elephant in a bathtub while anchored in the bay. Thousands
of people are expected to view the ship in Bar Habor, and more when it
visits Portland, ME in mid-October.

I understand that neither Bush nor Kerrey were on the ship when it
visited.
