The ocean liner SS Independence, built for the American Export Lines’ US-Mediterranean service, sails off the coast of Cannes circa 1958. Seen from its port side, the vessel displays its distinctive dark hull, white superstructure, and two prominent funnels, with a wisp of smoke rising from the aft funnel. In the background, the hazy silhouette of the French Riviera provides the setting.
