"Lady in Blue"
SS Norway makes her historic final appearance in
New York City
Arrival
Docking
At repose, the lady awaits her transatlantic passengers
and
A Final Farewell...
Man made me, and my will
Is to my maker still --
To him and his, our peoples at their pier:
Lifting in hope to spy
Trailed smoke along the sky,
Falling afraid lest any keel come near!
Kipling
Godspeed, fair Lady in Blue.
