When ships were build or rebuilt most owners put together a “builders book” of sorts to celebrate their work and the ships early history. The Norwegians knocked it out of the park with their SS Norway ( ex France) builders book … it is one of my favorites and one of the best ever! this is full of lovely color photography celebrating the ss France, her rebuilding into the Norway, new interiors and entry into service.  Lots of text and information is packed into the 124 pages. The cover has an embossed bow image of the ship and silver letting ( also some scuffs and soiling). these re hard to find and can have some brittle binding … the copy is solid and in great condition.

Like New Wine/Beer/Beverage List  for the early Carnival ships. printed on super heavy stock .. this the unmistakable R/W/B logo cover.

Excellent Large oversized PC for the Norway (ex France). This is an early version … before she had more suites and spaces added topside.

Video Booklet form the MS Sagafjord … offered over 300 videos that could be borrowed and watch on the TV in your cabin. The true prize here is the cover art … the 5 ships of Cunard fleet at the time.. QE2, Cunard Princess and Countess … and then of course Sagafjord and Vistafjord … such wonderful ships. Excellent condition

A super rare menu cover from the SS America when she sailed briefly for Venture Cruise Lines … just 2 voyages. Venture and the ship were just not prepared to start operations … the ship was in poor condition and the passengers basically demanded the ship return to shore to escape the hellish conditions onboard. Such a rare item!

Interesting set of Cruises P&O planned out ofr NYC for the “White Whale”. there were about 20 cruises total that started in Late January and ended in later September.
