Gibralter
4 October 1952
"I can go top side and see Spain, French Morocco and Gibraltar all at the same time. As we were coming into port last nite we had to go right past a large passenger liner. You should have seen that babe, all the passengers were lined up and waving at us as we went past them. The name of the passenger liner was "Independence"....It looked like a picture when we went past it....The crew of the Independence was shooting water from its fire hydrants as we went past."
