Back when there was a "First Class" on passenger ships and ocean liners, the line would issue a passenger list to the guests. After all, you met the most fascinating people on board, this way you could keep in touch with them.
The cover of this passenger list is an illustration of the Routes of the Matson Line - Hawaii New Zealand Australia via Samoa and Fiji. This is by noted illustrator E. Melbourne Brindle. Gorgeous!
Sailing from Honolulu for Los Angeles Harbor and San Francisco on August 23, 1946 at 12:00 noon.
What can I say? Cruise ship menus can be an art form in itself. Back in the day, they had works of art on the front, and inside was printed the menu for that day, catching a moment in time. Now, ships have so many restaurants you can't try them all in once cruise, and the menus don't change. Celebrity's Eclipse even has a menu on an ipad! Here, I've shared some of my collection of ship menus - if you have any to share, please do!
