 1972 Queen Elizabeth destroyed by fire

In Hong Kong harbor, a fire breaks out aboard the Queen Elizabeth, and by
the next morning the famous vessel lies in a wreck on the bottom of the sea
floor.
The RMS Queen Elizabeth, boasting a 200,000-horsepower engine and an elegant
art deco style, made its public debut in 1946, leaving Southampton, England,
on its first luxurious run across the Atlantic. However, before her days as
a lavish passenger liner, the Queen Elizabeth steamed across the ocean for
another purpose--as a transport vehicle during World War II.

In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me
light and strength.
