Very nice and early deck plan brochure for the 4 new GL ships. Once side opens up to a lavish full color rendering of the ship with color coded deck plans The other side shows early interior renderings of the ships rooms and cabins and several sections of text facts figures etc. The 4 little ships were designed by WF Gibbs and were early evolutions of his liner designs.  The plans have a little toning and soiling. The only flaws are the 1′ or so tears found at the intersecting central fold lines .. but still an amazing reference piece for these ships  .. outstanding cover graphics too!

Don’t miss this!

Absolutely one of the best brochures for the Panama Pacific coast to coast service  … and Highlighting their 3 newest ships turbo electric ships: California, Virginia and Pennsylvania. these are 3 of my favorite ships (they had interesting design and long and varied lives). At the time of their construction, they were the largest passenger ships ever built in America. Excellent large B/W interior photos. A very special brochure. the covers show a little discoloration and very light soiling  .. the contents are almost perfect. Agency stamp on the front cover adds to the charm.

A nice copy of the Skinner brochure .. so named for the famous Skinner image of the ship used on the cover. Filled with Black and White interior images of the vessel … as well as facts and specs on the ship itself. The first 2 interior pages and rear cover have some brown toning/ghosting .. but overall this is a very nice copy. These are getting harder to find.

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!
