Greetings from Rock Island, Illinois (USA)
It’s surprising how many of our categories this unused Mike Roberts card C16526 falls into. The caption is short but pithy with nothing but proper nouns. One of them: this is Tugboat Ann Brent. Usually we only search aircraft records, but in this case we looked into Google for the tugboat, and found this: “… on June 11, 1984, the U.S. towboat ANN BRENT, which was downbound in the Mississippi River pushing a 4-barge tow, collided with the upbound Greek tankship MANTINIA. As a result of this accident, the lead barge in the tow sank and discharged its entire cargo of No.6 oil into the river. The other barges in the tow were damaged to a lesser degree, but none of their cargoes were spilled. The MANTINIA sustained serious damage to its bow. No deaths or serious injuries resulted from this accident. The total damage to all vessels involved in this accident was estimated to exceed $500,000. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the ambiguity of the meeting agreement reached by the ANN BRENT’s operator and the MANTINIA’s pilot over the bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone.” Thought you’d like to know.

Yasawa Islands, offshore boats (Fiji)
Once again, nobody has paid us to report this (condensed) description from a Fijian travel website: “Blessed with dramatic peaks and sun-drenched white sand beaches, the Yasawa Islands is the paradise that lies Northwest of the main island Viti Levu. The region is a haven for nature lovers and a mariner’s dream for an adventurous ocean escapade. The natural exotic beauty of the Islands has earned them spots on Hollywood movie sets and is a popular choice for reality shows. Reserve your patch of paradise on a single island or hop your way through the archipelago to standout spots like the awe-inspiring Sawa-i-Lau caves, swim with mesmerising mantas or discover delightful underwater coral gardens.” We would go if we could.

The grand view of Hong Kong Harbour
The view on this unused card N987C is about as artificial and unreal as it would be possible to print. But not everyone would know that — unless they read this. We laugh just looking at the card and how it was put together. Grade: 1

Code: 32400452
Price: $8.00
Kaohsiung (set of 4) (Taiwan)

Niagara Falls, Maid of the Mist (USA)
Collecting Maid of the Mist postcards? Watch the boat change over time. And not just the boat! The caption on this unused card says its “voyagers are swathed in oilskins as a defence from the saturating spray” but when we did this trip, we got throwaway clear plastic raincoats. Grade: 1

Sea Palace (Hong Kong)
Were you to Google Sea Palace, you would (as we did) be confounded by complicated and incomplete information about it and other floating restaurants that passed through Hong Kong for varying lengths of time. What we show you here, condensed from Wikipedia, demonstrates what confronts you: “In 1991, Sea Palace was renamed “Jumbo Palace”. (Our note: nothing about it pre-1991 under that name.) Shortly after the 1997 Asian financial crisis, it was sold for US$800 million and towed to Manila Bay and rebranded as “Jumbo Kingdom Manila”, with much of the original ancient Chinese imperial palace style renovation retained. It closed in 2008 and was donated to the government of Shantung province in 2011, then towed to Tsingtao to be part of a seaside park. It was intended to undergo reconstruction and reopen in May 2014 catering primarily to wedding events, but renovations were still incomplete as of 2021. Local residents have tried to tour the closed boat on their own, despite the rusting hull and a safety perimeter, but the operator has not been able to reopen the restaurant.” There’s more, but you get the idea. Unused card from the mid-20th century has two expansive captions and would be a gem for you to own. Grade: 1
