Maasdam 1962 - two pictures!
Perry
travelled from Rotterdam to Hoboken, New Jersey on the ship Maasdam
IV, thirteen days in june 1962. Just like the Oswalds did.
remarkable: never before was a passenger of the 1962-trip tracked
down by anyone.
remarkable: she was staying in cabin 471, the Oswalds slept in 473:
they were neighbours.
remarkable: she saw Oswald a lot, didn't talk to him. She never saw
Marina and June.
She sent me two pictures: first time we see pictures of the ship
during those days in june 1962.

These pics are not made in 1962, don't know when they were made...

Thank you very much. I am sure no one has seen these before.
Helps give us some flavor of the trip.
Do you have these organized on a Web page?
Anthony Marsh
I think I found the right Web page:

Any chance your Web site can translate into English? I know Google has a
primitive feature to do that.

correct the obvious errors in translation.

Perhaps someone will update the following Wikipedia page, and add the
fact that Oswald travelled on this ship when he returned from Russia.

Both these items are still for sale on Ebay, Perry!

Interesting stuff, Peter, thanks!
It seems rather luxurious for the Oswalds. But then, I expect the had
the really cheap tickets, and didn't get anything like first class
treatment.
