Isn't google great?! And, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. I recently came into possession of a Mediterranean cruise travel journal of my great aunt's from 1928. I'm scrapping it (digitally), including a few images of the pages (but her handwriting can be challenging, especially for folks like my dad with vision problems) but most of it will be transcribed & printed in a handwriting font in a larger size than my aunt's very tiny handwriting). Unfortuanately, to my knowledge she took no pictures (doubt she had a camera), so I've been searching the web trying to fins ones to go along with what she'd written. Luckily for me, she mentions the ship, so I was able to search for photos of it. After numerous searches varying what keywords I was searching for, I thought I'd found just about everything on the web about the ship. Last night I thought of a different way of phrasing what I was looking for & found several more great shots (mostly of the ship she returned on, which she didn't write about much, but I'll take what I can find ). So, they key is in using (stumbling across by luck in many cases ) the right combo of keywords to search for.
Also, early on, I found a great copy of a b/w postcard, but while the thumbnail photo of it said it was the ship she sailed on, the caption full size version said it was one of her sister ships. The website included a link to the person who'd made it, so I emailed & asked. He turned out to be a fount of information & very helpful. Just from taking a chance & asking him whether the pic was really the ship I wanted, I was able to find out who the captain was when she sailed, that, based on info I was able to supply from her journal, she must have sailed first class, etc. Plus, he kindly emailed me a print quality version of the photo I'd asked about. Very cool!
Hey, I was there back in the 70s! Twice, actually. I remember Chateau Frontenac from the family vacation (summer). And I remember how cool it was to see Montmorency Falls the 2nd time, in the winter, frozen.
Very good point about exploring the other links that come up when you click on one pic, M-C. Sometimes you find the best resources that way.
