THE QUEEN ELIZABETH SOLD.—A group of American promoters has agreed to pay the Cunard Line £3,230,000 for the passenger ship Queen Elizabeth, which is being taken out of service. A model of the ship is shown in front of the men at the contract-signing ceremony in London. The three Philadelphia businessmen, from left, are Messrs R. Miller, C. Williard, and S. Miller. With them is the managing director of the Cunard Line, Mr J. Whitworth (third from left). The ship is to be berthed alongside a 150-acre site on the Delaware River near Philadelphia. The site is to be developed into an international “wonderland,” with replicas of the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, and some typical national villages.
