The Queen Mary 2, bottom, leads the way into up the Hudson River into New York Harbor with the Queen Victoria, center, and Queen Elizabeth 2 not far behind as the three Cunard line ships prepare to rendezvous for a fireworks display in this Jan. 13, 2008 file photo in New York. This is the only time the three Queen ships have ever met.
