Those were the days….
The Golden Age of ocean liners….dramatically depicted here by the iconic Cunard Line ships RMS Queen Mary and RMS Queen Elizabeth….set against the also-iconic Chrysler Building in New York City.
(Postcard circa 1938.)
Those were the days….before today’s instant communications, always-connected, WiFi/Cellular/Satellite/Internet, megabits per second, fast-paced world.
Those were the days….when one went to sea….and forgot the rest of the world for a few days. News, if any, came via a telegram! STOP. Just a few words per minute….STOP….from the outside world. STOP.
Those were the days….a Golden Age!
Perhaps, in some ways, a little more gentle….a little more human.
