Ocean Liners you are full of gems! Anymore of her?
I am really looking for a good close-up/detailed pic of that figurehead

Here's a very poor photo I took 2 years later of it.

I believe it is from m/s BIRI of 1957 designed by Ervin Loffler.

Poor by YOUR present day standards Pam, but still better than many in the photo gallery. What sort of equipment (camera, scanner, etc.) do you use nowadays? I'm sure that I am not the only one that would like to know.

I gladly would, but I don't have any. The photo showing part of the figurehead is just something I found on the Internet while researching for
this other thread.

If you have any interest in her more recent incarnations, there are some interior photos for Crucero Express and Ocean Club Mirage.
