9- _____ Port had recreation. It was raining when we got up this morning. We were told that the water is infected & nobody can use salt water. We had movies on main deck aft.___________

Movies: When ships were in port, movie reels available, and the weather suitable, this became a common night recreation. A screen and projector were set up on deck. The popular movies were recent releases, with stars like Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Liz Taylor, and Humphrey Bogart. They might have also viewed Marx Brothers or Abbott and Costello comedies and westerns with John Wayne or Randolph Scott.
