River ballet will see Three Queens dance together on River Mersey for 175th anniversary



While Liverpool’s streets were the focus for the public spectaculars of 2014, this year is all about the city’s most important highway – the River Mersey.

Plans are being made for six weeks of waterborne festivities which are expected to draw more than a million people to the Mersey waterfront between May and July.

The season of events will be bookended by two major weekends to mark the 175th anniversary of Cunard and its first transatlantic crossing from Liverpool to North America in 1840.

And we can reveal Cunard’s Three Queens will have a ‘Royal Rendezvous’ in the river in May, while in July the flagship Queen Mary 2 will replicate that voyage from 175 years ago.

And in between, the International Mersey River Festival will bring the waterfront alive between June 5-7.

The three-day event will include Tall Ships, Royal and merchant navy vessels, and there’s even discussion about a Northern Boat Show which could see world class sailing and power boats head for the Mersey.

Sounds very interesting.

Just wondering how much space do they have at the cruise ship terminal to park up three big boats.

^^^^ couple of video's I made last time the Queen Mary came !! ^^^^

This was a close shave--could have been a nasty disaster
