did the bridge crew really have no issue bearing the weather?










Sorry I didn't post these sooner, never found the time, but I hope you guys enjoy these shots!
I couldn't make it to the event where she and QM1 met as it was too early and I lived far, but I had made it just in time to see her roll into San Pedro, and it was an awesome experience seeing such a huge ship, the only operating oceanliner in the world, slowly sailing past me as it docked at the LA World Cruise Terminal. I'll never forget that day.
And I had went to Long Beach to take a quick photo of her predecessor.






























any suggestions drop them in the comments

The SS Antillian, a ship owned and operated by the Leyland Line. She was launched on September 20 1898 and had her maiden voyage on December 9 that same year. She was built by Caird & Co. in Greenock and served as a cargo vessel for a long time before being scrapped in 1930.
Tonnage: 5613 GRT
Engines: Triple-expansion, 3 cylinder engines
Speed: 12 knots.

The Lurline gets a cameo in 1940’s “‘Til We Meet Again” with George Brent and Merle Oberon. Interiors probably filmed on a set, but have suspiciously Eugene Savage-esque art in the “cabins”.
