Yes, but I had to go and drop anchor in a service plaza afterward...

Decorating ships isn't just an American tradition...


Scharnhorst (German Battleship).
Sailors standing on the ship's after deck with a Christmas tree, circa December 1939.
The ship was then under repair at Wilhelmshaven.

Russian Dressing must have been OK in 1936-- before the cold war. :lol:

Time to start eating...

The photo caption states that life preservers/life vests are part of the attire for this Christmas dinner and that special partitions have been added to the table to keep the dishes from sliding around!

But do you get in trouble if you drip turkey gravy down your impeccably smart life-preserver? ;) :D

Happy Birthday. May the coming year be safe and give you many pounds of chocolate and cups of tea (or what ever you are drinking.) May you see many lands and at least places outside your front door. May you find safe harbors when you are looking for them and adventure when that is what you seek. And may you have many more birthday to come.

Happy Birthday, Joan!!! My goodness how the years fly by! I'm sending you a very large telepathic piece of seven year old Christmas Cake to celebrate. No driving after consuming, it's dripping with rum. :D
