April 2021 : QE2 in Norway
« on: Apr 02, 2021, 10:30 PM »
The theme for this month's photo competition is "QE2 in Norway", chosen by Pete Hamill, the winner of the October 2020 competition.

Photos should be taken during QE2's service life, within the ship or from shoreside. Each photo should show at least a sliver of QE2 and a sliver of Norway :) .

Enjoy the search!



The prize this month is a one year membership to The Steamship Historical Society of America (SSHSA), donated by June Ingram.





Alternatively, depending on circumstances due to Covid-19 restrictions, June Ingram may be able to offer a jigsaw of the prizewinning photograph.



How to enter

The album is open -- so now is the time to look for your three most interesting pictures on this theme. Wishing you happy memories as you search your photo collection to find up to three pictures to upload to the competition album.

Photos entered must be your own, or if not, please mention the name of the photographer for copyright reasons, and so that the owner can win the prize!

This link will take you straight there : QE2 in Norway.

If you have not uploaded photos to the Forum Gallery before, have a look at these instructions, and if you have any problems, just contact us on admin@theqe2story.com. You could even email the photos to this address, and we can upload them for you.

The deadline for submitting photos is 30 April 2021. Voting will run from 1 May 2021 until 1 June 2021, until everyone's time zone has caught up with the date.

We look forward to seeing your photos in this competition. 

This is the seventh month of photos for the 2022 calendar. Maybe your photo will figure there!

Enjoy yourselves!  :)

Norway was one of my favourite cruise destinations, so I am looking forward to seeing the entries for this month's competition.
I was proud to be involved with planning QE2's 50 year conference in September 2017 in Clydebank

Isabelle, interesting to see we visited Stavanger about a month between each other and that QE2 did quite a few Norway cruises in 2006!

Also your photo of the tenders being hoisted aboard again brought back the sights and sounds of the whole operation from the ship's only visit to Propriano, Corsica. I can hear the electric motors of the davits as I type this! I wonder if there are any videos of this about?

First sailed on QE2 in August 2003 aged 6 years old. Last sailed on QE2 in July 2008. Last saw the seagoing QE2 in person from the decks of QM2, on QE2's last Transatlantic crossing (Eastbound tandem) in October 2008. Visited QE2 in her new life, in Dubai, in January 2020 and August 2022.
