Bon Voyage Peking




As the South Street Seaport continues its transformation into a high end mall 
the time has come to say goodbye to The Peking. 
It's been part of the New York City scene since 1975, so it will be missed. 
It was actually built in Hamburg in 1911 and it is headed back there now. 
The German Government is funding a new museum for it -
The German Port Museum - in Hamburg. 
 
Seems appropriate.
 
Maybe we'll visit someday. 
Edward has always wanted to go there.  

Don't go too soon though.  It's in dry dock in Staten Island for the winter.
Here's two previous blogs of the seaport...



Bon Voyage!
