The colors are astonishing considering the year this photo was shot.usually we see 70's photos with a typical brown color,but this now is like happening right in front of your eyes.

As long ago as I can remember rd77, I do not recall having seen in the maritime medias of that period anything about the fact she was offering berths to carry passengers.

Very interesting picture René, I had never heard of the Hispalac venture. Do you know if she still carried passengers at this stage of her career?

Thanks for those interesting notes Manuel. I believe this was the only ship on this Great Lakes service.Not quite sure.

Superb photo, René. Thanks for sharing this excelent piece of history...
'Hispalac' was a company created in 1970 by Spanish shipowners 'Naviera Aznar' (owner of the 'Monte Urquiola'), 'Naviera Bilbaína' and 'Compañía Naviera Vascongada'. Their main routes joined several ports in Italy, Spain and Portugal with Canada and the Great Lakes.
