Here's a series of the Michelson going through rough seas. | |

Departing Michelson, 1972. After two years aboard, with more life experiences than I'd had in all the previous years of my life, I stood on the pier in Yokosuka and watched the Mickey Maru leave for another cruise and took these series of pictures. I suddenly felt a huge loss, thinking I'll never see the ship or my shipmates aboard ever again. I guess it was the first time I'd ever truly "belonged" to something. | |
