Bill Miller partilha connosco impressões de uma curta visita à Califórnia em 1971:
"MEMORY LANE: CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'
In Feb 1971, we had a long weekend out to California ... I well remember those evocative horns going on a foggy night in San Francisco ...
We caught the PRESIDENT CLEVELAND for an overnight ride: Sailing from San Francisco at Noon; arriving San Pedro (LA) the next day at 11am ...As I recall, the ship was all gleaming lino, immaculate, very post-war modern in decor, great brass elevator doors, Emerson radios in the cabins ... and the simplicity of the old third class/economy space that was completely intact, but unlocked and no longer used ...
At Long Beach, I also recall seeing the QUEEN MARY, then being renovated and having only one funnel -- the middle one -- and years later, in a photo, a friend quickly identified the ship as the SCYTHIA -- well, a very big SCYTHIA ..."
