Glimpses through the Mashrabeya: sits. vac. (82)

sits. vac. (82)

Having recently finished scanning 160+ negatives, I thought this one would do nicely for a vintage sits. vac. I believe the ship is the SS Himalaya, and this particular cruise was in 1951.

Here's a link to more info on the SS Himalaya.

Were the negs a good find/rescue?; 11 January 2012 19:20

Ellen, I bought a box of photos (which would have come from one person)and these negatives were in a little folder with individual numbered pockets, they are mainly from the early 1950s and most feature cruises. Some quite nice ones. I had no idea what would be in there.; 12 January 2012 02:23
