Ed Tomaski on left and friend on right. Other views around the New taken during the 1958 Med cruise. Below it looks like Naples in background.

Berthing compartment in 1958. Called Racks by most and Bunks by a few theyre were never called a bed. These Racks were a bit different from most ships of the day. Even later New had the canvas strung on aluminum tube rack. Both types took some getting used to. They can never compare to a feather bed.
