Atlantic Ocean, April 30, 1949. Dad's friend rides aboard the USAT
General Omar Bundy. The friend looks to the shore of what he called "old England;" this makes me think the ship was transportingDisplaced Persons to Australia.
Most of the Displaced Persons transport ships started off in Naples and later picked up refugees in Bremerhaven. The vessel on which my Parents emigrated, the General Black, also started out in Naples.

According to the ship's Wiki page, it left Napoli.
Maybe he was thinking of where he'd spent the war.
