Not bad, but in the realm of bad but ancient panoramas I've got you beat by a dozen years.... here's one of several really poor panos I attempted to make of Expo 67 up in Montreal with my Brownie Starmite camera, all of 37 years ago!

This next shot shows the heart of Paris, the Halles district, (now a shopping mall) being excavated in early 1973; it was made from two scanned B&W photos joined in Photoshop; the focal length of the lens I used being 20mm and the photos having a good overlap, I'm guessing this image covers perhaps 150 degrees or a bit more...

I've also got a rather good panorama covering about 300 degrees of a herd of widelbeest on the Masai Mara in Kenya, which dates back to 1980; perhaps I'll post that one of these days.
I could also point out that the first photo generally recognized as a panoramic image was taken in 1842 of the Roman forum by Girault de Prangey just three years after Daguerre made his photographic process public.
