Stanley MacDonald chartered a Canadian Pacific ferry in 1965. He intended to monopolize the winter cruising market by operating out of Los Angeles and cruising to Acapulco, Mexico.

“Seawise University” on fire, 9 Jan. 1972 (Hong Kong)
First, about the card: unused, with some smudging around the edges and on the back. (Not serious, but there.) Now, about the event, we’ll borrow from Wikipedia’s entry about what had been the passenger and mail vessel RMS Queen Elizabeth: “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 businessman, 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.” Grade: 2
