I think this photograph can not be at San Francisco, as ATLANTIS never visited the US West Coast during her short career under Chandris ownership. She sailed from NY to the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

Partially agreed Clive. I think she was a nice one, although you're right about her being too enclosed. With more and larger Windows lining her public rooms which were situated on the deck below the life boats (Rainbow Deck) and maybe two portholes per cabin, she would have appeared more open. But then again, although she certainly looked best in her APL livery, let's not forget her mostly rather big cabins - for the time, that is. And even newbuilds of the time wouldn't feature panoramic windows in a number this Lady did. I am tempted to rework this photo to make her appear more open but will ask Chris first of course.

I never thought this was a great conversion. She looks too built-up and enclosed. He lines as the President Roosevelt were far more rakish but I suppose as an APL liner she was even less economic with her smaller passenger load than the more cruise oriented Atlantis.
