Huge

I took my brother-in-law and his family down to the docks today to look at QM2. They took the Hythe ferry and got up close and personal, while I took this picture from Hythe Marina to try to give an idea of the scale of the thing. The ship is the other side of Southampton Water from the marina - maybe 2 miles away - so is even more massive than this picture suggests.

Update: Larry takes me to task saying that the ship is in fact no more than half a mile from the point where I was taking the photograph. I checked on MapQuest and he's right - so much for my wild guess!
