EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Seawise University, formerly known as Queen Elizabeth, during its refitting at Port Everglades in Florida. The image showcases the ship's majestic presence as it stands tall against the backdrop of tranquil waters. The remnants of its old name, Queen Elizabeth, are still visible above the newly adorned title, Seawise University. Once owned by Taiwanese shipping tycoon C Y Tung, this vessel was intended to be transformed into a floating university. However, fate had other plans when tragedy struck in 1972. A devastating fire engulfed the ship while docked in Hong Kong Harbour, leading to its untimely sinking. Despite its unfortunate end, this photograph serves as a testament to both the ship's former glory and its potential for transformation. The image exudes an air of nostalgia with its vintage aesthetic and absence of people on board. It symbolizes not only a piece of maritime history but also represents resilience amidst adversity. The composition highlights intricate details such as chains that once held this magnificent liner together and evoke thoughts about finance and transportation within the nautical industry. This archival piece offers viewers a glimpse into an era when cruise ships like Queen Elizabeth reigned supreme in North America's waters. Overall, this stunning print from Fine Art Storehouse is sure to captivate admirers who appreciate both historical significance and artistic beauty.
