Empress of France 1956

I finally received the photos that my sister sent to me that include some photographs taken of the Empress of France ship as well as some photos of passengers on the ship. The original blog where I posted the ship's log can be seen here.

Here is the Empress of France docked in Liverpool (I believe, it could possibly be in the port in Montreal, Canada).

There is also a newpaper article posted on the blog (see link above) that describes the European trip made by my grandmother as an educational trip. My grandmother was a retired teacher at the time of the trip. 

My grandmother was friends some other people that also toured Europe.  I don't know their names, but as soon as I receive the original slides, I believe their names are written on the slides. I will post that when I receive it from my sister.

There was another photograph of ship passengers.  I'm not positive this is from the Empress of France, but it was in the same bunch with the rest, so I'm assuming it is.
