Very cool 64 page brochure for the 32-33 ATW cruise for the Empress of Britain… one of my favorite ships … ah to go back in time! about the first 20 pages of the brochure are about the ship itself and includes many photos of the ships public rooms, cabins and generally sumptuous interiors. the remaining pages cover the cruise route, destinations and shore excursions etc  … starting with Madeira and ending with Havana. Quite nice !

Interesting press photo of the Leo at her fitting out pier … a huge crane seems to be lowering something onto the aft part of the ship. this does have some small tears along the bottom edge.

A good copy of the Empress of Britain’s story that was published after the war to honor her loss as the largest commercial liner sunk by the axis forces. IMO, Axis forces should have been punished for this act alone … such a glorious ship met an unfortunate end due to war, the quest for power and hatred. CP’s largest ship ever… her ATW voyages were legendary as were her interiors (some of my favorites). The white glossy covers of these always seems to be soiled .. but this one is not too bad. good overall condition.

CP sure did a nice job on there ” Apartment Plans” … what other lines called deck plans. The lavish size, color and excellent graphics make these some of the best plans ever produced. In great shape, there is very little seam separation at the fold lines .. which is quite uncommon. EOB was the largest allied “commercial” ship lost in the war  and a favorite of mine personally.

Nice hard bound book celebrating and documenting the Empress of Australia’s 1929 ATW adventure. The voyage started in NYC leaving 12.2.29  … and returned via the Panama Canal on 4/17/30. I’m guessing the voyage had some cancellations due to the stock market crash the past fall. Great shape ( the only flaw I see is a crease on the back corner) … the nicely put together documentation has good photography and a super fold out map of the voyage.

Another favorite interior fold out for the lovely Sylvania. This includes 6 full color renderings of her public spaces … and 2 full color phots of passenger cabins.   the Sylvania’s interiors were a little less Modern and more traditional that the Ivernia and Saxonia … a move by Cunard taken from customer feedback . In good condition with a few signs of light wear at the seams and edges. Don’t miss this one!

CP sent the Empress of France on this Third Annual Mediterranean Cruise in 1926 and this brochure covers that adventure in 85 pages of info, text, photos and some graphics. I just love the cover art  ..CP did an outstanding job with their brochures and advertising. There are about 15 photos dedicated to the ship and her interiors … many more to each destination. There are some cover scuffs and soiling, but overall good condition.

Very nice like new large format fold out for the Empress of Canada and the Empress of England. Filled with nice colored photos and lovely monochrome graphics … this does not disappoint! The buzzwords are Time, holiday and escape.. to name a few. Like new condition.

Probably the best brochure done for the CP Pacific Empress’s .. the cover art is outstanding and surrounded by gold. The inside reviews each ship in the service the Empress’s of Canada, Asia, Russia and special attention was lavished on the newest: Empress of Japan. The centerfold honors all 4 ships with beautiful profiles. It is truly a wonderful brochure for the ships and their route …. hard to come by ..especially in great condition.

Nice double sided cruise plan for the Empress of Canada … CP’s last flagship and Carnival Cruise lines first cruise ship. She is certainly my favorite post was CP liner, the plan is quite detailed down to the furniture. There is a little “rusty” discoloration to the plan on one of the sections

A very interesting CC form … certainly uncommon. Certainly in that era every company had some sort of credit card. I wonder of they had a bonus point program.

Lovely brochure for Empress Atlantic crossings dated 1966. Quite lovely with photos and line drawing graphics  .. like new condition.

Excellent sailing and fares booklet for the 1970 season.

Excellent color deck plan and cruise booklet for the 3 Sun line ships : Stella Maris 2, Solaris and Oceanis. These little Sun Line ladies were filled with great Luzzatti art .. they had beautiful Greek Inspired interiors (lots of pictures in this brochure) Excellent condition with lovely copper colored pages. NY,NY agency stamp. dated 1975

One of Bills newer picture books on CP ships … Chock a Block full of photos of CP’s post war Passenger fleet … used , but excellent condition.

Nice early Tourist deck plan for the Big U. I’m guessing USL had lots of Preliminary plans in stock and decided to use them up .. the ship was almost a year old by February of 1953.Printed on glossy stock and in good condition w/ Slight age toning to the paper.

Lovely 8×10 press photo of the Katherine moving at speed.

Excellent TC baggage tag … unused and like new!

Wonderful large tissue deck plan for the empress of England. in excellent condition and printed on lovely tissue paper. This looks like it has never been unfolded.

Super colorful 12 page brochure in Italian for the 1978 New Year’s Cruise from Genoa-Malta-Alexandria-Haifa-Piraeus- Genoa. Super cool and new condition.

Great menu from the Empress of Canada … with a cartoony steam/sail ship “Savannah” depicted on the cover. Normal wear with some discoloration.

Lovely beverage list from one of CP’s British Columbia steamers that ran under trhr CP Rail Banner and operation division. Lost of different selections and in goods shape ,, some stains from wear.

Super small but quite well done little folder done in 1965 for The EO Canada and the EO England. Go Empress to Europe!

Nice glossy stock single sided cruise plan for CP’s last flagship. The glossy stock has a pink tint to it … there is also a nice deck profile of the ship.

Nice heavy stock cruise plan for CP’s last flagship. It is 2 toned white and light blue … and looks like it was never used. Super nice condition!
