#Ocean Liner

Looking at pictures of ocean liners and then looking at pictures of modern cruise ships is like looking at the comparisons of bad selective breeding in dogs over 100 years.

Beautiful. Elegant. Regal.

Vs

Evil. Overbred. Disfigured and dying young of inherited heart conditions.

I'm gonna get to see the SS United States tomorrow. Granted, from behind a fence on the side of the road, but still. I might get to see her again on the 25th. It might be the last time I ever get to see her.

I'm taking LOADS of pictures, including with my DSi and 3DS. I have a Gameboy camera, but there's already 30 pictures, and it doesn't feel right deleting them without archiving them first. However, the temptation to be quite possibly the ONLY PERSON to ever photograph the SS United States with a Gameboy Camera is hard to resist.

I need one but with battleship TEXAS.

Spectators turned out to see the luxury French ocean liner Normandie, June 4, 1935. The liner had completed her maiden voyage and record run across the Atlantic (4.14 days, the fastest ever) the day before.
