The USL marketing did amazing plans for the SSUS … and these for tourist class were done just as nicely as for the other classes onboard. The plans are color coded and the color pictures of rooms and accommodations are great! The cover color is a little toned and faded on this particular plan , but the insides are perfect!

Lovely Grace Sine fold out brochure …for trips through the Panama Canal. In excellent shape with great photos of the ships and the related geography.

Great large foldout for the 3 “Sharp” sisters. Lovely color isometrics for the ships passenger interiors. Great condition

Heavy red stock paper miniature deck plan for the Ultimate American ship. Double sided and includes photos of many rooms! Great shape … marked office on the front.

Nice passenger list for the Oriente .. sister ship to the Morro Castle (which had burned to a crisp a 2 years before). It also includes an immigration ticket for the same voyage.

Great memo pad from the Philly office … Lovely eagle logo!

Nice set of color isometric plans of the Main and Promenade decks for the lovely delta liners: Norte, Sud and Mar. There are 2 tone photos of the public rooms as well as lots of ship info!

Great shape!

Interesting series of 3 letters written on a fall 1925 voyage on the President Pierce. Some of the tone in the letters is pretty serious … some is lighthearted and Sprinkled with details of the voyage.

2 nice pieces for the Old Bay Line aka the Baltimore Steam Packet Company. These services covered the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac river routes .. and at the time were the oldest steamboat company in the US… services started in 1840! The City of Norfolk and City of Richmond were the last survivors … but would be soon retired.

Lovely Brochure folder for the lovely Sister Queens of the Great Lakes. Covers rates and sailing cruises for the entire 1959 season. These are by far my 2 favorite Great Lakes sisters. Excellent condition.

Wonderful pristine cutaway for the SSUS. There were several versions of these … this one appears to be from the 1960’s. One side is all cutaway … the flip side has b/w interior and ” activity aboard” photos. Lots of fun facts about the ship … and a small info section on the famed Hales Trophy! Love the reversed Alyward rendering on the cover. Lovely Smooth glossy pages.

Great 30 Page or so brochure that describes a voyage on one of the Savannah line steamers . you could start in colder NYC and finish in the warmer southern climes of the US .. and of course do the cruise in reverse too!

Gold lettering on the cover and a great illustration of a steamer on the cover passing 2 tropical fishermen in a boat under a lovely palm. Lots of port info and onboard pictures. There is some discoloration around the staples but they are intact and strong. Lots of different rate info in the back to cities all over the south and eastern seaboard.

The sturdy America debuted just before WW2 and quickly was ushered into WW2 military service. After the ware she was out leading lady till her larger and faster consort (The SS Unites States) came on the Atlantic scene. This First class deck plan is delightfully colored and contains outstanding interior photographs … USL marketing sure knew their stuff. Absolute Excellent condition and very informative.

Lovely orange colored Stock certificate for 100 shares of USL stock. Love the detailed SS America graphic at the top .. very detailed and I’m sure quite expensive for USL to produce.  A little wrinkle to the left edge .. this is in good condition!

Cool set of 10 onboard pictures featuring SPL’s SS Creole. Great “Edwardian” interior rooms, one exterior profile and one close up of the funnel .. there are 10 photos in all. Great Unusual item!

Excellent ticket and document folder graced with the America’s funnels. Bright R/W/B colors and great graphics .. this is in excellent condition. Would have been used to hold passenger tickets , travelers checks and other voyage documents.

SS United States: America’s Super Liner. This is the highly prized 1984 auction catalogue and it is in exceptional condition. Packed chock-a-block full of the contents that were sold at auction! Little known fact: FOB helped design these … and in exchange, he was able to advertise his “Big Ship book” in the back. Restocked!

Excellent “Look Inside The World’s Fastest Luxury Liner” cut-away of the ship. Also includes interior photos, info on the ship as well as the Hales Trophy. Excellent condition and one of the best cutaways ever done.

Great photo jacket for these 3 handsome ships … would have held a photo take by the ship photographer that was sold or given to a passenger. Great shape with ship stats on the back … no photo inside.

These came with a lot of SS American items … though only stamped United States Lines. These are still soft and supple but do show signs of age including being folded.

Great little set of writing room items for the darling little US liner. A little discolored with age but pretty cool!

Excellent little log card for the America’s voyage to NYC from Southampton via Le Harve and Cobh. She crossed in 5 days 5 hours and 11 minutes … Fender was the captain!

Pristine post card for the SS America as she steams inbound toward NY harbor and past Lady Liberty. One of USL’s widely used images for the ship … and in great color.

Very nice early publication brochure for the post WW1 “USL” fleet … though owned by the government at the time (technically USL was not founded at the time). The heavy stock textured covers encase HUGE full page photos of the ships and their interiors … with special attention to the Leviathan of course! Certainly mentions America / George Washington /Republic and some of the various converted President 535 ships. Lovely cover design … there is a little cover scuffing and some minor edge wear.

Super high quality dinner table cloth from the ship. The USL’s eagle crest medallion is woven into the center of the cloth and is surrounded by the fancy Wavy Border… which means this cloth was used and dinner time (I believe breakfast and lunch would have been served on a cloth with a rectangular boarder). The linen is super good quality .. these were replaced and needed and the date the item was made for the ship was woven discretely into the boarder .. this one dates from 1959. Great condition for its age.. no holes or bold stains, but typical wear from onboard use. Measures approx. 6’x4′.
