Amy Lowell was a famous poet raised rich in Boston from a intellectual family. She was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1926. The love of her life was actress Ada Dwyer Russell. See her web pages for the details of her personal life and poetry.

SS Amy Lowell: this 441 foot cargo ship was built in Wilmington, CA in 1943. This proud vessel transported vital supplies to overseas US and Allied forces during WW II. Records show the ship survived the war, carried commercial cargo after 1947 under two different names, and was sold to be recycled into scrap metal in 1967.
