This series is fantastic! The Pres. Wilson and twin sister Pres. Cleveland were wonderful ships. And their usual itinerary was out of California and into the Pacific, so these shots from the Black Sea are quite unusual. Many thanks for posting these! Finn

Glad you like them Finn, We were surprised too to find her in that part of the world. We met her a few days later as we followed her through the Bosphorus, just too far ahead to get any photos.

Regards

Bob
