Bay of Biscay Enroute Back to Southampton, July 20084 viewsMy Dad's (James A. Hypher's) photo from the port bridge wing on our last QE2 voyage.
This was my second bridge visit almost 3 years to the day of the first with the nursery, at a more sedate approximately 21 knots (slow by QE2 standards).
My Dad had written to Captain David Perkins asking if a bridge visit was possible given it was our last chance on a seagoing QE2. I still have the response letter from his secretary.Thomas HypherMar 10, 2024

At The Helm Aged 8, Late July 20051 viewsSailing at nearly 28.5 knots through the Bay of Biscay back to Southampton. Luckily for everyone else, QE2 was on autopilot!
The moment the childhood dream to become a deck officer started and is now becoming a reality nearly 20 years later.Thomas HypherMar 10, 2024

Wetdock alongside the Western Docks in Southampton8 viewsTuesday 22nd April 2008 during her last Cunard refit.
This was the final whole Cunard fleet meeting that QE2 took part in, which was an unplanned coincidence because QE2 was originally scheduled to drydock at Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven before her sale to Dubai.
I had the day off primary school at very short notice for this.
