Unfortunately not the HESPERUS of the famous Longfellow poem and saying 'The Wreck of the Hesperus'. Completed in 1874, the first iron ship built for the Orient Line, she was a regular visitor to Australia. More here - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/63751723

beachcomber australia Yes that would have been interesting - Longfellow's 'The Wreck of the Hesperus' has certainly entered pop culture over the years. You know you've made it if both Mad Magazine and Daffy Duck are using your material :)

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Not to mention the Marx Brothers and the Simpsons too! Of interest is that this HESPERUS was sold to Russian owners in Odessa in 1899, and was renamed GRAND DUCHESS MARIA NIKOLAEVNA after the Tsar's third daughter, born in 1899 - she was known as the 'beautiful' one - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchess_Maria_Nikolaevna_of_R...(1899%E2%80%931918) More history and London to Sydney times - www.bruzelius.info/Nautica/Ships/Merchant/Sail/H/Hesperus(1873).html

beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber! This has all been entered in our records. Got lost for a while there reading all the related history - poem & the life and death of Maria, very sad.

This is Pan American Boeing 707-321, N791PA (c/n 18715/364), Jet Clipper Fidelity. Clipper Fidelity would continue in operation with Pan Am until the late 1970s, when it was sold to Maverick (under the same registration), and then Turkish Airlines Cargo (THY Cargo) for conversion and use as a freighter (TC-JCC). After THY, it would pass to Bosphorus Air Transport (BHT - Bogazici Hava Tasimaciligi), before going to Golden Star Air Cargo in January 1992 (ST-ALX). Sadly, while flying for Golden Star Air Cargo, this aircraft crashed on Mt. Hymettus (killing all seven on board) while on approach to Athens, Greece (ATH) in March 1992.

How long did JFK have those rear-door jetways?
