From a August 1967 crossing … she didn’t have much more time in service! This for tourist class passenger’s and judging from the names … Tourist class seems pretty full! Marr was in command ( of course) … Great and Pristine shape!

Lusitanias undergang (The Sinking of the Lusitania): wonderful book in Swedish by Stockholm author Claes-Goran Wetterholm. This book is signed: to Jon Hollis ( an American ship historian / collector/ lecturer) by the author … and also includes a type written letter to Jon from Claes. Pristine shape One of a kind! 02/14

These were great little booklets handed out in the 50’s. The are much like a mini version the early Comparison booklets that Cunard did for most of these large ships in the 20’s and 30’s).  Just restocked!

The famous comparison boolket given out by the thousands to everyone to show off the stunning New Queen Mary! Covers all sorts of fact and figures from 30,000 lightbulbs to 10,000,000 rivets! Containes a marvelous center cut-a-way. A few tiny tiny little edgescuffs and blemishes…. still exceptional condition for 1936ish.

What can I say? … almost mint deckplan for the QE2. She sits today in the hot sun of the Arabian peninsula ..waitng to start her second life as an attraction.

The fantastic book: The Elizabeth: Passage of a Queen by Leonard A. Stevens. This is a great “biography” of life aboard voyage 424… and well as a good amount of her history and legend. Wonderful cutaway and informational appendices in the back! This book has been out of print for some time.Pristine shape!

QE2: Here we have a great Michael Cox “Ice” sculpture with part of the E2’s turbine blade mounted on it. There was a limited number of these sold in her gift shop to commemorate her conversion from steam to diesel. This process added almost 20 years to her sailing life.

Queen Elizabeth: Nice little plain glass sorbet dish that was part of her table service that was sold off during the brief period that she was open for tourists in Florida. Luckily, most of the items onboard were for sale …  so furniture and fittings did make their way off her before she departed for Hong Kong and her final demise.

Conquest of the Atlantic booklets. These were great little brochures that highlighted the fleet and Cunard’s history. These were passed out by the 1000’s! Excellent condition.

Queen Mary: Here is a great souvenir booklet that was done for her inaugural season. 1000’s lined the dock to pay to see Britain’s newest wonder ship when she first arrived to the US in 1936.  There is some bumping to the covers.

Queen Elizabeth: An amazing Launch brochure for the Lizzy. Cunard and the Clydeside engineers had made great strides in ship design since the Mary (which meant she required fewer funnels and boilers etc). Maybe this is why the Lizzy never had the same allure as the Mary? Contains several fold outs and a marvelous golden centerfold. This is oversized and in good condition … though the edges of the cover are a little brittle and bumped.
