This past week, some friends of ours invited us to accompany them to a special banquet on the RMS Queen Mary. We arrived at the port of Long Beach to board this impressive, historic ship, now docked there in the harbor.
We had beautiful weather for this late afternoon event. It started with a silent auction to raise funds for the International Seafarers Center of Long Beach and LA.
We were treated to a mighty display by the port fire department.
(Humans were not the only observers present!)
Several of the law enforcement agencies participated in a speed boat race...
...followed by a tugboat race. Impressive!
Here we are in deck.
We took a self-guided tour of the ship.
The ship is huge! (One view from top deck)
We enjoyed delicious food and a fun evening at the Maritime Industry Salute Dinner. It was great meeting new friends, and we even went home with a prize!
