Vintage ad
« on: Dec 13, 2011, 05:54 PM »
I've created a vintage-style advertisement with the help of Photoshop on my computer  :)

First, I took the text away from this advertisement of the '50s - the slogan was quite intriguing  ;)



and then  I've placed it on this wonderful picture of Queen Elizabeth arriving in New York at dawn.




so here's the result!  ;D  (move the picture to the right to see it completely) What do you think? Is it realistic?
Cheers

Jeff, I just read through your posts from 09-10. What wonderful memories.
I too traveled on both original Queens and always felt that QE was superior. My father, being a senior NY Cunard manager introduced me to Commodore Marr on a trip we made on QE. What a thrill for a young boy.

Your QE steering story brought back wonderful memories for me too. I experienced a very similar story on a FRANCONIA cruise from NY to Bermuda in the mid-60's. In those days, getting invited to the bridges, as a VIP, was quite frequent. I was up there one night and was introduced to the telemotor steering system. (old hydraulic system) and steered for quite a while. I learned a lot during those visits that became useful for me later, when I went to sea as a licensed deck officer. The Chief Officer who introduced me to that initial experience and taught me so much.....future QE2 Captain Robin Woodall!. (among many)
