Actually, MV Saturn on the left was going astern at the time the photo was taken and the QE2 was being pulled astern by tugs. The flotilla of boats all around where there to greet the QE2 on her last ever return visit in October 2008 to her birth place, the River Clyde. The QE2 was launched about 20km further up river at John Brown's Ship yard in Clydebank in 1967. Map location.
