This vintage photochrome postcard captures a remarkable aerial view of the legendary Spruce Goose, Howard Hughes' famous aluminum flying boat, docked beside the iconic RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. The image showcases the 415-foot aluminum dome adjacent to the Queen Mary, which was prepared to house the Spruce Goose as its permanent exhibit location in 1982. The postcard vividly details the maritime scene with multiple boats in the harbor and the surrounding pier infrastructure, highlighting a unique moment in aviation and maritime history.Produced by Mike Roberts Color Productions and published for the Wrather Corporation, this official souvenir postcard features vibrant color printing typical of the Photochrome era (1939 to present), measuring a continental size of 6 x 4 inches. The back includes a historical caption dated February 11, 1982, describing the Spruce Goose's final move by barge after a five-mile ocean voyage to its new home. A collectible piece for enthusiasts of aviation history, maritime vessels, or Long Beach landmarks, this postcard offers both visual appeal and historical significance.
