Antonio Sousa

Antonio Sousa enjoys a dinner with friends aboard the Saturnia ship, en route to Canada. On the back of the photo, he wrote a note to his wife:
[illegible] the Portuguese have said goodbye and tonight we’ve made another memory but even in these times of playfulness, I feel so alone. Hugs and kisses with all my love.
[ilegível] de despedida aos Portuguese aqui vai mais uma recordação do que mesmo na brincadeira sentia me tanto só. Beijos e abraços com todo o amor.
This photo was taken in May of 1953.
