Matson LInes Passenger List 1946

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.

Floating through Europe

This is a handwritten copy of the "farewell dinner" on our very first "cruise," a 13-passenger barge floating through Holland to see the tulips. Dated April 12 and 1
3, 1984. We booked this trip not really expecting much, and we had  the best time.  We're still talking about it 30 years later - the passengers, the crew, the food.  The most amazing thing was that a menu like this was created in a galley the size of a phone both.
