Fourth of July Aboard Empress

Longtime friends and the Penhune and Lasensky families gathered aboard Empress to watch the 4th of July fireworks from Sea World, which is near where Empress is tied up in Mission Bay in San Diego. As shown in the photos below, Marcellite Penhune decorated Empress for the occasion.
