While sailing one of its 21 transatlantic crossings this season, Cunard Line’s Queen Mary 2 navigated a mid-Atlantic rendezvous this week to cheer on the rowing team for “Artemis Investments” as they attempt to break a 114-year old world record, set back in 1896, by rowing from New York to England. The 23-foot, purpose-built rowing boat with its four-man team departed New York on June 17. Additional pictures and video capturing the spirit of the occasion are posted on Cunard’s blog WeAreCunard.com. The opportunity for Queen Mary 2’s guests and crew to show support for this adventurous challenge was especially poignant since one of the Artemis team crew members served as a crew member aboard the flagship liner when it was launched in 2004.
