I sailed on the Lurline and Monterey as a passenger back in the late '60's.
We sailed on the Lurline going from LA to Honolulu and then, three years
later, the Monterey from Honolulu to LA. I believe that the Lurline had
been taken out of passenger service and the Monterey was on its last trip
with passengers when we sailed on her.

Nice ships as I remember them.


The wife and I took a trip on the Mt. Vernon Victory in the 80's - one
of the last Onasis tankers in service at the time. A friend of mine
was the Captain.

Thing had a baby grand piano in the owner's lounge.

Taht trip was a lot of fun.

Later,

Tom
