My mother took a trip aboard the Queen Elizabeth in the summer of 1950. I've just started scanning some of her pictures into the computer so that my sisters and I can all have a copy of them. This shot was taken by the ship's photographer (I left the printing on purpose). My mother is in the middle of that stylish trio with their sunglasses at the railing.
Thank you Kerri, Yao, Lisa, Nicole and Daisy! Yes, a fun memento to be sure. It looks like her trip to Europe lasted about a month including sailing to and from NYC harbor.
Such a nice treasure. your mom looks very fashionable there. the picture reminds me of when I was standing at the railing waving good bye to my parents. the "Bremen" took me to the United States. I immigrated in June of 1955.
Thank you Terry, Diane, Gwenllian, Alia, Anita, Dione, Rick, Bev and Bruni! I'm glad you enjoyed the shot. I'm sure it was a great adventure for my mother. It looks as if this trip was taken just after she graduated from college.
@gratefulness Thanks Sandi! @summerfield Thanks Vikki! I'm not sure the Queen is still afloat, but the only thing I could match my mother on is the sunglasses! She was much more petite than me- and much more slender even in my thinner days! @traceyhn Thank you Tracey! Yes- I actually think the styles were much more flattering then- less is more, or in this case more is less!
