Queen Mary 2 Leaves Shipyard
From Times Wire Reports
Inaugurating its reign as the world’s largest ocean liner, the Queen Mary 2 sliced into the Atlantic from a shipyard in St. Nazaire, France, seen off by about 70,000 onlookers and jets streaking the skies red, white and blue.
But memories of 15 people killed when a gangway to the ship collapsed on visitors’ day on Nov. 14 dampened the mood.
The ship’s 14-day maiden voyage from England to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is scheduled to start Jan. 12.
