Part 2: Slides Stamped with "April 1961"; Location New Jersey and New York

This is the second post of slides developed in April, 1961.  Five of them were taken aboard a ship transporting INS personell to incoming passenger liners to deal with immigration matters.  The last is Renda and her doll house.

Next week: the final post of slides developed in April, 1961.





This is the SS United States, which still holds the record for the fastest Transatlantic passenger liner crossing; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_United_States

This appears to be the Staten Island Ferry, which passes by the Statue of Liberty.  The ferry ships now have "Staten Island Ferry" painted on the sides. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staten_Island_Ferry

  3. Note that you can click on a picture and view it by itself. This is most useful when one of the gadget windows overlies a portion of the picture.
