Queen Mary 2 to become largest ship through Golden Gate

The Queen Mary 2 is expected to become the largest ship to pass through the Golden Gate when the luxury cruiser makes a nail-bitingly tight tour of San Francisco Bay on Sunday afternoon.

The visit is one of the riskiest passages in modern maritime history _ and a chance for 2,638 passengers to glimpse the underside of the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s also a pit stop for the 1,250-person crew to pick up 150 tons of food.
