On wednesday, November 30, 1960, Lewis Carter left Montreal, Canada aboard the Empress of
France, on her final voyage. Shown on this page are the family's accommodation ticket - for Room 65 on D level and the programme for November 30th, including a practice lifeboat muster, music,
a children's tea, bingo, and details for last-minute letters. The ship would have left Montreal down the St Lawrence River headed towards Quebec city, where last-minute mail could be sent off.
On the cover of this day's dinner menu is a painting signed Lendon, of Willy Lott's cottage,
a favourite subject of the English artist John Constable.
