A candid moment in Bettie's life.View attachment 651113
I love Bettie Page too.
OK, she made many ‘pinups’. But she also made many photo, where she, like here, is just putting on her clothes or something else not ‘sexual’. But she almost always seemed to feel fine with it all. Nowadays many girl is photographed in positions that simply shows her sex 🙄
Bettie just showed herself.

As do I, Miz K. Before the advent of jets, Ocean-goers like the Uniited States were cheap, or expensive if desired, and pretty fast. But "all good things", as they say. If she has to go, I suppose a new life as an environment is not the worst thing. Ive only been on a few of these Ships....This one is a vague memory, except for my Grandmother leaving. I have a SHARP memory of her standing at the rail with water behind her, just before they cleared for departure.

The Maasdam, also gone, and a French Liner were the other civilians....But the Carrier USS Forrestal, CVA-59, was another.
I agree with you on the underwater environment. That is more noble than being taken apart for scrap. My first choice was what an optimistic investor wanted to do - converting her into a permanently docked hotel/apartments/restaurants. He wanted to dock her in NYC, but I think he came upon roadblocks to that.

UPDATE: At 4pm EST today, she was in open sea, approaching Virginia Beach. No stopping at the renowned shipyards there, however. Going straight to Mobile, Alabama.
