Yep. If you look up the Queen Mary on Google Earth, the round white
dome next to her is the building the Goose used to live in. It's now
the cruise terminal for Carnival. We just went through it two weeks ago.
While you're there, look at the bow of the QM. Then look at the space
between the QM's bow and the shore. There's a retired Russian sub
parked there.
