Star of India

We visited the Star of India last Monday with some friends of ours that were visiting from Israel. The Star of India is the oldest ship still sailed. She is a beautiful ship and we had a delightful time exploring her and imagining immigrating from England to New Zealand--a trip of nearly a year!
The beautiful Star of India: reminiscent of days gone by.

Enjoying the ocean view from the beautiful wooden seat.
Abbie, sitting at the dining table. Notice the wooden bar to her right? We think it would be put in place to hold the map steady or perhaps to keep the food from flying off the table???
A fitting cross stitch to grace a room beside the Captain's.
