Great little ashtray for the lovely little intimate Victoria … bright and cheery blue and yellow colors … much like the seas and beaches of the Caribbean she visited.
Italian Line: Leonardo Da Vinci deck plan February 1962.
Good deck plan for the flagship Leo. She was a fuel guzzler and closed out the traditional Italian Liner services in the later 19709’s and then cruised solo for a bit until being laid up and destroyed by fire. Good condition deck plan with typical wear from use.

Nice good sized AT fir Costa lines… Probably swiped for an onboard lounge. It is brass colored .. but seems to be more like copper weight and feel. Lovely Costa logo and outline of the Frederico C in the back ground.
Italian Line: Andrea Doria Sinking Press Photo
Tragic and dramatic photo of the Doria right before her final plunge to the bottom. Lots going on in this photo. The sea is broiling around the sinking ship … interesting a vessel is almost tight on top of the turbulence … Some unused lifeboats are floating around in the debris field and the plane buzzes overhead allowing press photographers a full view of the action below. A couple of “age” spots on the photograph.
