Today Captain Philip Beale is Flying from London to Salt Lake.
Right now Captain Philip Beale is on a direct flight from London to Salt Lake. His American trip is significant for the next phase of the PHOENICIA. He will meet with community leaders and entertainers in Utah, including high-level meetings with people who manage the Sundance Film Festival in Park City.
After Salt Lake, Philip will fly to Los Angeles, where next to Disneyland, he will present in the Bower Theater to the members of the Explorer Club of Southern California. After his live show in California, Philip will travel to Fort Madison, Iowa, where he will meet with the mayor and other civic leaders to discuss the location and building of the PHOENICIA SHIP MUSEUM. At 6:00 p.m., Monday, June 6th, there will be at the Riverfront Pavilion on the Mississippi and Open House, where the public will be able to meet and talk with Philip.
For the last two decades, thousands of people in the Old World have given their enthusiastic support to Philip for the construction of PHOENICIA. This support came from historians, scientists, government ministries, universities, museums, research institutes, and artists. We calculate that the direct financial support for the PHOENICIA since 2000 has been more than $3,000,000.
We are excited that in the first week of June 2022, we will begin the important work of bringing the PHOENICIA back to life on the west bank of the Mississippi River. Anyone who wishes to critique what we are doing will first have to account for the enthusiastic support from the Old World.
We pledge our full support to the rebirth of the PHOENICIA to honor the ancient connection between the people of the Old World and the people of the New World.
