Both tugs are Boston Towboat. The tug on the left is the Orion and the tug at the bow is the Cabot. I have a slide of this at the exact same perspective. The tugs' lines aren't taut as in this photo. My dad probably took both photos as the one I have he gave to me. He didn't date my Kodachrome slide (#20) either.

Great, fantastic!! Perhaps not the most conventionally beautiful liner but a splendid ship indeed. I sailed on her twice, late in her career as Topaz as she was a delight as she had such a great on-board atmosphere.

Now tonite a real classic, christened by two royal monarchs, Queen Elizabeth, and the Greek royal monarch! mrdot.

It is hard to believe that this second hand steamer was the second ship owned by Carnival Cruises, now the undisputed heavyweight of the cruising industry. She joined her former company running mate the Empress of Canada, Carnival's first vessel, which ran aground on her first cruise in 1972.

She would also have one of the longest careers of any postwar built British Passenger Liner.
