QM2 leaves Hamburg at 6:00am on the 19th November 2005 on a bitter cold foggy morning. Just before 5am the fog lifted to unviel the QM2 in her full glory. With steam rising from the somewhat warmer Elbe, she edged her way backwards out of Elbe Dock 17 and almost up to the Cruise Terminal. After a short stop she moved quickly downriver out of Hamburg towards Cuxhaven and further on to Southampton. The QM2 photos were taken from 4:20am to 06:30am.
