New Great Eastern photos discovered!

[Christian]

Hello all,

Today I received a reply via snail mail from the Peabody Essex Museum
containing photocopies of photos available of the SS Great Eastern. These
are seven black and white photographs which promise to be of very high
quality. Five of these photographs are new to us as they do not appear in
the Dugan, Beaver, or Emmerson book - or any other source we have access to.

I will order copies tomorrow. All I can say about the prices: not exactly my
idea of a bargain :-( But since GE photos are very hard to find I'll order
these treasures.

For anyone interested in obtaining these GE photos:

Peabody Essex Museum
East India Square
Salem, MA
01970-3783 USA

The phone # of the Photographic Services Department is: (001) (978) 745 9500

Any info contained in these pictures will be included in the next update of
our GE site.

Best

Christian
