Acrylic painting by Alan Nakano, "Return to the Ice Age, MS SUN PRINCES" [bt. 1995]; starboard view of cruise ship in harbor; towering mountains in background; artist's remarks, "Johns Hopkins Inlet is a cathedral-like fjord in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Its towering rock walls and three tidewater glaciers dwarf even a 856-foot, 77,000-ton cruise ship like the SUN PRINCESS. In this painting, I wanted to contrast this beautiful man-made vessel with the raw and awe inspiring power of nature." Mystic Seaport, Museum Purchase Award, 2003.
