It was on Thursday October 16, 2008.
The QM2 waited and gave preference to the QE2.
The Grand Dame of the Seas went first.
We were outside and from our cabin balcony we saw how the QE2 funnel passed just a few feet under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge that used to had the world's longest suspension span.
Seasonal contractions and expansions of the steel cables cause the double-decked roadway to be 12 feet lower in the summer than in the winter.
The bridge was named after Giovanni da Verrazano, who, in 1524, was the first European explorer to sail into New York Harbor.
