Maritime Memories from Bill Miller
Maritime Memory Lane! David Perry was a ship’s officer (on gold-plated Crystal Cruises) and went on to become a shoreside media tycoon (yes, from the printed word to TV host). A dear friend, we co-lectured on a Maritime/Ocean Liner Nostalgia cruise (from San Diego southward to New Zealand onboard the Crystal Symphony) back in 2014. These days, David is himself a hugely successful shipboard speaker (onboard the likes of Seabourn & Holland America) and so wonderfully & expertly carries the torch of maritime history. Yes, he is eloquent, well researched, impeccably stylized. Recently, he reached into his shoebox of travel photos & found the views below:
Not just a handsome face, Alfredo Casuso (left) created the billmilleratsea website

I was King Neptune during the Crossing-of-the-Line ceremonies & with my trident ordered that even the captain be dunked!
Just had a post card from David & Alfredo from a Seabourn cruise in Panama (but below they are seen in Casa Martín 1920 in Grazalema, Spain)
