If you want to see Brass, go on the old Queen Mary at Long Beach, who ever did the Brass in those days must have been a full time job. Almost every thing is brass hand rails all down all the stairs, the door in the Ist class Dining Room is all fancy Brass. the wheel house, you need sunglasses on. all brass. Thousand of Brass ports.
When I was on this year the night shift is all they do is polish the brass a long non stop operation.
, Cheers
Brian
