Excellent foldout foe the lovely little Ocean Monarch … she had limited time with Furness left and would soon be sold and become the Varna.

A very nice set of Batory plans printed on heavier newsprint like paper. the is one small pressure tear on the cover page through to the second page … it does not detract. These plans are super rare .. don’t see much for this ship! Her sister Pilsudski did not Survive WW2.

The Newest Concept In Cruising:  Miami to Mexico drive on – drive off service. The Bolero is covered in detail with lots of colorful graphics in the booklet. Looks to have never been used … but does have a Milwaukee agency stamp.

Nice rate and deck plan for the 1977 Sailings to Europe ( from NYC and Montreal) for the lovely Russian Mikhail Lermontov and Alexander Pushkin. The Lermontov has been on the bottom of the ocean for years.. and the Pushkin was just beached at Alang India today after finishing her life as the Marco Polo.No agency stamp and like new condition. Nice line drawn deck plans.

Large color fold out for the Odessa’s and Kazakhstan’s 11/76-5/77 cruises from New Orleans. Like new condition … looks never to have been used or even opened. Includes color plans and photography.

Nice plan for the Norway ( ex France). Printed in 1998 when she was still sailing like clockwork and raking in the cash for NCL Hard to believe that’s 22 years ago! Nice condition.

An interesting view of the Britannia’s dining room with Hepplewhite chairs and table. I would love to tour the vessel someday! Publicity Photo excellent condition

Nice flyer for several mini cruises in June of 1979 out of NY harbor. Great deck plans inside, I think the Russians were trying to appeal to the Americans with their Red white and blue brochure coloring.

One of Billie’s early Dover booklet endeavors … a book of 24 postcards of famous Liners that were ready to mail out to your maritime friends. Excellent glossy photo views of many famous ships including Olympic, QM, Normandie, United States and others. OOP

This would have been the first time the Norway left the Caribbean in 4 years to cross the Atlantic. It was clever scheme to position the ship for special voyages around her first refit at Meyer-Werft. Line New brochure with deck plans.

Lovely little souvenir spoon that could have been bought on any of the RVL ships. Great condition and still in its original box.

 One of my favorite multi-life ships … the ex Empress of Japan / Empress of Scotland and finally the German Hanseatic. She made summertime crossing but was probably better known for her cruising career. She caught fire as she was preparing for a cruise from NYC and the smoke and fire damage did her in … she was towed across the Atlantic and scrapped.

 Certainly, one of the best “overview” books that sparked many of today’s middle-aged ship lovers’ interest in the then waning days of Ocean Liners. This book is a staple in most diverse ocean liner libraries. I expect JMG is somewhere in purgatory stuck on the tarmac of a jet liner bound for some warmer destination.

A great brochure …Tiny and petite but contains some nice photography and info on all 7 cruises!

A great hardbound history book that traces the development and history of over 30 liners stating with the German Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse and ending with the Russian Aleksandr Pushkin. Of course all the big liners are covered Mauretania-Lusitania, Olympic-Titanic-Britannic, QM, Normandie , United States … but also some lesser knowns get attention like the Cap Arcona ,Felix Roussel, and Willem Ruys. The book ends with “tomorrow” a rather nice overview of cruise liners and the cruise industry.

Excellent condition.

2 lovely postcards for the running mates … other started life and Dutch colonial liners Willem Ruys and Oranje … Both met there fates too early and by fire. A nice set of oversized cards!

Nice brochure advertising several of the Irpinia’s (and Caribia’s) cruises for the 1973 season… Including a Christmas cruise and a African cruise. there are a few interior photos … but the majority of the photos are “ashore” and port photos. Brooklyn NY agency stamp. There is a 1″ seam separation along the binding edge.

Lovely “WIP” sign printed on heavier stock for the ss Norway … on a ship, there is always some sort of “work in Progress”.

3 lovely sheets of writing paper from the ss Norway. In excellent condition.
