Cunard White Star: IMM Stock Certificate

75 shares of IMM stock would have been a nice little investment back in the day … now just interesting to collectors for the 4 funneled ship image and its tie to the historical company. one edge of this is a little wrinkled .. but could be flattened easily (especially if framed). The 4 funnel ship is a nod toward the Olympic … but looks a bit more like one of the German 4 stackers.

Society of Friends of Old Steamships: Story of the Queens Catalogue

The culmination of selling tools for Gene Darcy’s Ocean liner “wares” would be this catalogue he produced showing many of the items available for purchase. He started is company selling items scrapped from the Queen Mary in Long Beach and then added other ships and items after the initial sales successes. From the somewhat humble start,  greed and growth soon set in and many of the later items he added have been proven to be of fictitious historical provenance .. though some of these later “replica”  items have now become collectible as well.  The catalogue is in excellent condition and provides a fantastic glimpse into items sold.

Book: The Only Way To Cross, By John Maxtone Graham.

John’s earliest and best known liner book that covers the development of liners from their earliest days. A great work and worthy of any collection. I personally did not like John and his rather pompous uppity Shakespearian-prose approach to liner and maritime history, it seems a little overpowering and formal (Frank Braynard’s work ran circles around this guy).

LINERS IN BATTLEDRESS by David Williams

Very well done book by the accomplished maritime author David Williams. This explores the different painting schemes used on Passenger ships during their “military” service. The Dazzle painting schemed form WW1 have always fascinated me … somewhat of a relationship to modern cubist art of the time. Great BW photos! Excellent condition

On The Road to Alang: Peter Knego’s Amazing First Alang DVD Restocked!

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!
