From a postcard - the 1928 Empress of Canada in happier times, seen with what must be a very young Royal Iris.
The Empress capsized in 1953 and the Iris was introduced in 1951 - which narrows down the date of the postcard a bit.

I wonder what the vessel ahead of the Empress was? She has a classic look to her. An old Cunarder ? An I.O.M. steamer astern of the Empress.

They don't make them like that any more. Just slab sided floating blocks of flats. Sad.

Wondered that too, Pinz - could be the Scythia or Samaria?
See Clicky...

Speaking of Cunarder's - remindes me of the old joke:

Lady 1 - "My Husband works for Cunard"
Lady 2 - "Oh, really? My Husband works fairly hard too"

A great link. Thanks. The way some of the great liners were fitted out - amazing. Opulence and some...
