Lovely Orange striped deckplan for the lovely MS Oranje. Built right before WW2 started she survived to carry Dutch and other passengers on colonial routes to points east. Sold to Lauro Line and renamed Angelina Lauro, she burned and was a total lost while at dock on a Caribbean cruise. The plan is in excellent shape and somewhat hard to find!

Lovely little souvenir dish from the Stella Polaris. She has a very long life and sailed all over the world for more than half a century. She played a static restaurant role in Japan and sank on her way to start a new career and restoration.

Lovely Red scarf for one of the earlier RC ships! These ships were always easily identified my their unique “Funnel” Lounge. Superb profile of a ship in one corner. This is a heavy scarf …made of acetate… in pristine shape!

Journey again with Buddy Peter as he returns the scrappers yards of Alang, India in 2005 to visit another series of liners and ships that have been recently beached for demolition. This DVD has a focus on The Eugenio C, the incredible retired flagship of the Costa line .. as she arrived on the beach under the name “Big Red Boat 2”.

Visit other ships too .. and experience their last days of life as the metallic carnage begins being dismantled slice by slice.

Buddy Peter Knego is no stranger to any shred of information involving Ocean Liners and related endeavors .. and his first Indian scrapyard adventure DVD “On The Road to Alang” covers his series of journeys to Alang to document the glut of older tonnage that was retired in the early 2000’s. The video footage covers many ships recognized from their days of crossing or cruising: Empress of Canada, Ivernia/ Franconia, Transvaal Castle, Winston Churchill and Stella Solaris just to name a few. These trips also served as rescue missions for Artwork, Furniture, Fittings and other memorabilia from these retried ladies … with rare scenes of the trader’s yards. A topic that is rarely covered, PK gives poetic tribute to these lovely ladies as they disappear before our eyes into bits and pieces … all to fuel the Indian economy and provide needed work for the local workers. Sealed and Brand New!

Lovely picture of a male passanger on the pre war Batory … standing in front of a HUGE life ring preserver. I can’t imagine this life ring was a novelty item … it must have been usable .. maybe it could have saved multiple people? Very interesting picture …I challenge you to find another!

This brochure is mostly full of interior pictures and also includes deckplans and schematics. Lots of the pictures show the public rooms, furniture and artwork that were left from her years of service as the Maasdam for Holland America. This brochure is in outstanding condition and is a total winner! Lovely Company stamped seal on the cover too …

Lovely brochure for the delightful Stefan Batory … the last little liner to cross the Atlantic on a regular schedule. This brochure is mostly full of interior pictures and a few onboard activity shots are shown as well. Lots of the pictures show the public rooms, furniture and artwork that were left from her years of service as the Maasdam for Holland America. The cover has a little soiling and wear   … but overall the brochure is a beauty!

Nice little folded sheet of stationery for the little Stefan Batory. She was the last regular transatlantic passenger carrier when she was retired in about 1988. Nice little sheet…write your liner friends!

Nice little envelop and stationery sheet from the Stefan Batory. built for Holland America as the Maasdam, she was sold to become the Stefan Batory in 1969. A nice little single screw ship … she was one on the last ships with regular trans Atlantic ocean service. She was in service until 1990 or so and then sold for scrap.

Great US Steel magazine that is mostly dated to the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock company. The US steel company published these magazine with pride, as they were the main steel supplier to all of the shipbuilding concerns in North America. The cover is a painting by renowned artist Fred Hoertz and shows a ship at the yard ready for launching. This issue is from December 1937 and is in great condition.

Perfect post card from the funny little SS SilverStar. She was a little Navy relay ship that was converted for cruise service form various ports off the east coast of the United States. She was a bit of an ugly duckling! These cards are in perfect shape: several available

Excellent set of cards .. unused an still wrapped in plastic. Features the Emerald Seas on the cover with green trim. The Emerald Seas was purchased from Chandris after they had her totally rebuilt (from the APL President Roosevelt). These were probably bought on board and saved as a gift. Excellent condition.

Beautiful like new color coded deck plan for the little Zim Line Jerusalem. She was one of the little Holy land liners that made up the post war fleet for Zim. Once sold out fo the fleet , she became the New Bahama Star and cruised for many more years. This has been Travel agency stamped.

Nice pamphlet that shows crossings, cruises and some air travels for the Feb-October 1957 period. The year 1957 was the last BIG year of ocean travel … it was all down hill and air travel from then forward. Air travel killed the profits of liner crossings in a few short years and cruising became more and more the standard. Excellent brochure for the twilight of an era. Great reference guide!

The Mikhail Lermontov was the last poet ship built for the Baltic Sea Shipping company. She sank on cruise after hitting rocks off the shores of New Zealand in 1986 .. and the wreck site has become a destination for divers. This is a perfect deck plan for this ship and showing interior views… a very rare find and in excellent condition!

Though the Black sea Shipping company she was built for is long long gone , the Alexandr Pushkin still sails today as the ss Marco Polo. She was the flagship for BSC and was the largest of their “poet” class. This is a perfect deckplan for this ship and showing interior views… pretty hard to find and in excellent condition!

The lovely “American” lady that started her life as the Kenya Castle and made most voyages from England to Africa. The Greeks bought her and gave her some updating and successfully put her into the American cruise market. This lovely heavy tissue line deckplan was printed in the USA sometime after 1960. Excellent condition … lovely rendering of the ship on the back cover.

Lovely dainty silver plated knife and fork set from a Chandris ship. The knife has “Chandris Lines” etched on the blade beside the lovely X flag symbol, while the fork has the X flag symbol stamped below the tines. Made by Sheffield of England, these need a good polishing. I have no idea what ship .. but I’m guessing an older vessel like the Britanis, Ellinis or maybe the lovely Australis.

The Ward Line’s Siboney actually served in both world wars … which sandwiched her peacetime service. This is a WW1 portrait of her dazzle painted and laden with lifesaving rafts. The portrait is in good shape for WW1 with a few waves, the black frame has the typical scuffs and scrapes. I may need to quote shipping for this.

Wonderful travel agency advert for the Alcoa Clipper. Alcoa ran ships all over the route to the Caribbean and South America most carrying ore and freight .. but some were also outfitted for limited passengers. This print by Gordon Ellis is really nice .. she is nestled in a safe harbor. This came from the FOB collection (info on back). A few border suffs and some scratches or! ** May require shipping to be quoted due to size**

Cute little calculator to help with the time changes as you were crossing into different time zones on your voyage abroad. Cute as a glass button … and in great shape … completely and utterly still usable!
