Sepia Saturday bloggers are challenged this week to share photos inspired by the image of men lounging on a cruise ship (above). The first ship that comes to mind for me is the Queen Mary.
Launching of the Queen Mary, Library of Congress, 1912
RMS Queen Mary
Take a look at this video of stories about the ghosts of The Queen Mary.
Dublin, harbor 1890
Torquay, Waldon Hill and Harbour, From the New Pier, 1880
Clacton-on-the-Sea, England (1880-1900?)
This week’s prompt is of harbors, ships, boats and harbors. They remind me of a wonderful book I read last year. Ernest Poole’s The Harbor begins in the days like these when ships with white sails bringing people from the world over into New York with treasures to trade. Times then change and not for the better. Find the book.
If you want to see more nostalgic harbor photos, go to Sepia Saturday .
This week’s prompt urges Sepia Saturday bloggers to find and post images of old advertisements (or those with horses or carriages). I can’t resist the charms of vintage ads.
