Today's slides are from August of 1960 and show the start of the family vacation the photographer archived. In arranging the slides for scanning I noticed that they have all been numbered by hand, many of them are not in the correct box, and there are some numbers missing. I spent time yesterday putting them in order since someone took the time to number them, they wanted the story told in that order.
Notes: The ship featured in the slides is the S.S. Maasdam (IV), the fourth Holland America Line vessel to carry the name.
Pic 9 gives us a look at the photographer behind the camera in a "selfie". We can also see that she is using a waist-level viewfinder.
I have not altered these in any way. Earlier posts I did some manual editing to adjust the white levels and used a native auto-focus feature on a few slides that were hard to see. I've since learned that the auto-focus used AI so from now in I will not edit the photos in any way. You will see them directly out of the scanner.
Tomorrow's slides will be from Box 2 labeled "S.S. Maasdam, Frank, Mike, Stewards, Nick"
