 Patrick ---approx. 30 years ago, the "Queen Mary" was moved from 
 the UK to Long Beach Harbor, California.  I remember having seen
 a spectacular photograph of her taken at night with the use of over
 1,000 large #22 flash bulbs used for a "one time only shot"; of course
 many cameras were assembled for that "open flash shot" as no
 synchronization was neccessary.  Can you imagine how that most
 have looked - for only a fraction of a second.
