Queen Mary 2

The Queen Mary 2 arrived in Sydney on 20 February 2007

At the time of her construction in 2003, the QM2 was the longest, widest and tallest passenger ship ever built, and at 148,528 gross tons, was also the largest. She lost that last distinction to Royal Caribbean International's 154,407 gross ton Freedom of the Seas in April 2006, but QM2 remains the largest ocean liner (as opposed to cruise ship). Titanic was 269 m (882 feet 9 inches) long and 28 m (92 feet 6 inches) at the beam . She had a Gross Register Tonnage of 46,328 tons (which is about 3 times less than QM2)
