Hallo Poly.
das klingt ja toll. Wir würden das Foto wirklich sehr gerne verwenden, allerdings ist die Größe tatsächlich zu klein. Also wäre es super, wenn Sie ein Negativ so groß entwickeln, dass wir auf A4 drucken können (ungefähr 21 x 30 cm). Wann könnten Sie mir das Bild schicken? Meine E-Mail ist alissa.rabe@glow-berlin.de
Ich freue mich.
Lieber Gruß, Alissa Rabe

I went to this twice when my grandfather was still alive. He was an electrical engineer who worked for GE and was commissioned to the Pacific during WW2 to do checks on the ships. One of the ships was the Queen Mary, which they used to move troops, so it was cool to be able to accompany him back to the same bridge he inspected back in the war.
