A great liner glides past Hamburg's iconic Landungsbrücken as the M.S. Kungsholm — 26,678 BRT, 21 knots — dominates the Elbe waterfront in this vivid chrome-era color card. The medieval-revival clock tower of the St. Pauli piers anchors the foreground, its green copper spire glinting above the stone archways of "Brücke 3," while a classic Volkswagen Beetle rounds the corner below — a quintessential snapshot of 1970s West Germany. Sent air mail from Hamburg to Titusville, Florida, the card carries a warm greeting in English from someone vacationing "from Germany," addressed to Marcel and his wife.
