This week we are featuring a home movie that shows a cruise ship from 1960 that visits the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. In this day and age of cruise liners and ships of vast magnitude that sail the seven seas as great floating cities, we look back at the time of a growing industry through the eyes of the people who participated in such vacation packages.

You can read a blog about cruising that MIRC staff member Cherrie Redd Brown has authored to accompany this film here: http://library.sc.edu/blogs/mirc/
