Fun Mariposa Cruise Marred By Severe South Pacific Storm
On the Mariposa a major storm battered the South Pacific trip causing a fractured thigh for a passenger during three days of high waves and head winds. Mrs Hilton was briefly hospitalized in Auckland before rejoining the cruise. Photographs by Dudley Miller document the voyage with passengers including Richard and David Merrifield, several Sarasotan travelers, and a Chicago cousin of one tour member.
