SS United States 1968

These photos are from 1968, I think. My family sailed from La Havre, France, to New York City. One taken in the dining room and another at the Port of La Havre. I am walking second from left in the port picture. I remember they had a kennel aboard for our dog (pictured). And I remember my father shooting skeet off the deck during the voyage. I was only 8 years old. Kristine Hartvigsen

Tanja, here are two pics of the SS United States taken on the Columbuskaje in 1968 when our friends departed for the USA. The marching band was a Tyrolian marching band playing, of course “Auf Wiedersehen”. Our friend, an Army Captain, was headed for Viet Nam. His bride was from Bremerhaven.
