Queen Elizabeth docked in Long Beach Thursday morning, marking Cunard's maiden call at the California port. Her berth was adjacent to Queen Mary, which is permanently moored there.
As Queen Elizabeth was preparing to leave Thursday evening to continue her World Cruise, the two Cunard icons exchanged a whistle salute while overhead Cunard provided a dazzling fireworks display to celebrate the meeting.
The complete story appeared in the February 6 edition of Cruise News Daily.
