PROVENANCE

fun fact:
During the golden age of travel by ocean liner, New York's fireboats would sometimes give the ships a water salute as they entered the harbor.  <em><br></em>

digital description:


wall description:
Bruce Davidson’s image brings back the excitement and majesty of the bygone era of a transatlantic crossing by ocean liner. He traveled aboard the luxurious <em>Queen Elizabeth II</em> (QE2) for part of its annual around-the-world cruise in 1998. Through Davidson’s lens, we become passengers entering New York Harbor, welcomed by the Statue of Liberty and saluted by a fire department boat. As exciting as travel can be, returning home may be the best part.
