The following scans were supplied by Ron Wilkins, who travelled on Bremen in 1961 and bought the two photographs on the ship:-
"I crossed the Atlantic from Southampton, England to New York in January 1961. During the crossing we encountered gale force winds that delayed our arrival in New York by a day and-a-half. I remember the big safety glass windows on the promenade deck "walking" in their frames as this beautiful liner flexed while encountering head-on seas. Then you'd hear a crack and the entire pane of glass would "crackle" and "spider web" in its frame. It was quite a crossing. The attached photos were taken on the crossing and purchased in the Bremen's gift shop".
