AFT VIEW


Aft View - Southampton

Looking aft from the Cabin Class open deck in the Summer of '55. As passengers are about to board, crew members are busy loading hatches. In this part of the ship, baggage and mail would be loaded down in holds 4 and 5. You can make out a baggage handler standing on the working deck. In the center of the photo - the cylinder shaped object is the exhaust (muffler) for the aft emergency generator. Farther behind that you can just see the US Flag at the stern of the ship.
