Family Portrait
It seemed to be the hottest day of the seven-week South American cruise to the ship's company of the Quebec during the jockeying for this family portrait on November 24. the ship was steaming northward from Venezuela to Colon over a shimmering Caribbean at the time, on the second last leg of the training cruise. Temperatures on the "upper' weren't much hotter than those of a central Canadian summer's day but the crew felt a bit overdressed after five weeks in shirts, shorts and sandals.
