Georgia, Liz and I drove up to Salem to visit the J.M.W.Turner exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum. Turner was one of the great romantic 17th Century English landscape painters and long one of my favorite artists. The exhibition was magnificent and comprehensive. We also visited the Peabody Essex's other galleries, including one of the most comprehensive collections of maritime paintings and models anywhere. The Peabody is also known for its many artifacts from the early days of the China and East Indies trade. In fact, the museum's founders were sea captains and traders from that era, when Salem was one of the pre-eminent ports of the early American Republic.

A spectacular, vey large model of the Cunard Line's Queen Elizabeth

With the decline in the popularity of the transatlantic route, both ships were replaced by Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1969. Queen Mary was retired from service on 9 December 1967, and was sold to the city of Long Beach, California. Queen Elizabeth was sold to a succession of buyers, most of whom had adventurous and unsuccessful plans for her. Finally she was sold to a Hong Kong businessmen Tung Chao Yung who intended to convert her into a floating University cruise ship. In 1972, while undergoing refurbishment in Hong Kong harbour, she caught fire under mysterious circumstances and was capsized by the water used to fight the fire. In 1973, her wreck was deemed an obstruction, and she was partially scrapped where she lay.
