1962 South American Cruise Book
First Cruise - January 1962 to April 1962

Howdy crewmember. Many of you already have this book, and many of you probably don't. Those of you that have it probably can't make out the photos anymore because, let's face it, we're all getting up there in age, and our eyesight is getting feeble. Well, I've come to the rescue; my book is still in pristine condition and I have an excellent flat-bed photo scanner so I decided to scan in the whole book for everyone's benefit. I used scanning techniques that will maintain the details of the photos when you use your PDF readers' ZOOM feature. This is especially useful when looking at the Division Photos PDF (bottom right "Bonus"). The times listed below each section is the approximate download time if you're using modem dialup to access the internet. It would not be wise to try and download the entire book using dialup-you might as well go shopping for a while. Good luck and Enjoy!! |
