Queen Mary 2 -- Staying Ship Shape

No Fish Story

* At 1,132 feet, the Queen Mary 2 is five times longer than Cunard's first ship, the Britannia, and 113 feet longer than the original Queen Mary. To put it in perspective, the QM2 is only 117 feet shorter than the height of the Empire State Building.

* She has 17 decks and rises 200 feet above the waterline, equal to the height of a 23-story building.
