Throwback to 1974/5
Aboard the Queen Mary
I have been reminiscing about the good old days as I go thru processing my dad’s old slides into a digital format. These are from 1974 and 1975 when we toured the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.
Here I am looking out over the ships railing into the parking lot waiting for everyone to climb aboard.

Other people are milling about conversing with one another as they wait for the tour to proceed.

Let’s take a gander over yonder at the Pacific Ocean . Isn’t it amazing how vast and beautiful the views are watching the ripples in the ocean waters.

Hey look, there’s a father and son looking out over towards Long Beach.
