Introduction
Making visible the contents of some of the hundreds of meal menus and daily programme images to be found on the Timeline, which of course are images of text, is an accessibility issue that I have long wished to address. As it isn't feasible to transcribe every single one of these images, I have chosen and will continue to pick out representative selections for full-text transcription.
The same applies to Passenger Lists, although transcribing these adds a bonus, because the names can be indexed and searched for from the resulting text.
Daily Programme Transcripts
The first of this series of transcripts has now been added, with more to come. As with the menus, I'm intending to select programmes from each class on transatlantic crossings and cruise programmes relating to different periods in Caronia's career.
Cruise Programme of Events
In the interim, until these transcripts are added, the pages of the Virtual Summer Mediterranean Cruise carry selected extracts from the Daily Programmes, often with extra annotations. These will be found with a lead-in line of “Highlights of the day..”.
