1955 Captain Cook

In April of 1955, my father and uncle sailed the Captain Cook from the UK to Canada. From its beginnings in 1924 to 1960 the ship had three names. It was the Letitia (1924–46), the Empire Brent (1946–52) and finally the Captain Cook (1952–60).

from wikipedia ...

SS Letitia was an ocean liner, built initially for service with the Anchor-Donaldson Line. She continued to serve with its successor company Donaldson Atlantic Line, and was requisitioned for service at the start of the Second World War to serve as an armed merchant cruiser. She was withdrawn from this service in 1941 and became a troop ship. She was badly damaged in 1943 and on being repaired was made a hospital ship in Canada. She was returned to civilian service in 1946 after the end of the war, and was bought by the Ministry of Transport, who renamed her Empire Brent and assigned Donaldson Brothers and Black to manage her. She sailed on a number of voyages, at times carrying troops to the Far East, as well as being an emigration ship to Australia. She was briefly laid up in 1950, but returned to service under charter to the Government of New Zealand as Captain Cook. She was withdrawn from service in 1960 and sold for scrap.

From April to October 1955 she was chartered to Donaldsons and made seven round voyages between Glasgow, Liverpool and Montreal, but then went back to the New Zealand service. In 1957 she had a fire while in Wellington, but was able to sail to the UK for repairs. She arrived at Glasgow at the end of her 25th New Zealand voyage in February 1960, was laid up at Falmouth and was then sold to British Iron and Steel Corporation, towed to Inverkeithing and broken up.

Cloning Tool with Photoshop Elements

I have really enjoyed learning how to use the cloning tool in Photoshop Elements.
Upper Photo - Before Image as it was photographed.
Lower Photo - Using Photoshop Elements Cloning Tool, I have removed the black post in lower left, removed orange traffic cone in background of lower left, removed garbage can from lower center and added grass and removed the light post in lower center. Using the surrounding areas you can clone your photo to look as though those items were never there.
