An elegant couple are enjoying a quiet interlude beneath a starry sky on the deck of the Queen of Bermuda. Passing them is the Queen's sister ship, the Monarch of Bermuda. Completed in 1933, the Queen of Bermuda regularly made the 6 day trip between New York and her island namesake. With passage beginning at $50, this fancy ship, along with her sister, were dubbed the "honeymoon ships." Furness stopped their Bermuda service in 1965.
