This clipping from the Ivan Brookes collection gives some idea of what the trans-Atlantic crossing by JOHN GEORGE was like. We'd like some day to see more photos taken during that trip. It should be noted that JOHN GEORGE at that time carried two lifeboats on platforms over the deck and forward of the bridge. They were relocated atop the aft end of the deckhouse before JOHN GEORGE went into lake service.
