Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm thinking Poseidon Adventure. We visited the Queen Mary as family last fall - my daughter was in AWE! (Lynette and I have been there a number times in our youth) - Little tid bit about the Queen Mary (which inspired the writer of the 'Poseidon Adventure' who was on the ship at the time) "In 1942, the RMS Queen Mary, serving as a fast troopship in the North Atlantic, was struck broadside by a 92-foot high wave. The ship listed briefly about 52 degrees before slowly recovering. GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What month was your cruise? As I recall my "cruise" was in March, 1958. We made a stop in Yokohama then on along the northern route to Seattle. We were in the rough for 2 days.
