Yeah I saw that floating city come right by me as I was fishing on Ocean Drive. She rolled into town at dusk just for the fireworks. You can really appreciate the size better if you are in a boat and close to her. It is a very big boat.

Saw it from my back deck last night (our house is a block from the water and we have a 3rd floor deck overlooking the harbor) - great backdrop for the fireworks!
Man, it made Goat Island look small by comparison -
Oh yeah, Joe - it's a ship not a boat - eee cooodeeesh.....  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

How many stacks does she have? I saw a ship heading onto newport sunday but it didnt look that magnificent. Probably a different vessel.

Everything is better on the rocks.

The Queen Marry came in about 7p Rob, before that I saw some car ship traffic, but thats it...
She is quite a vessel, but unless your on the cruise I dont see too much to get that worked up about.. BTW great fireworks display... nice to see Newport get back to 'normal' after last years traffic fiasco...
