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.

Dated for the service held on may 12 1957 and lead by Captain Nelson. Nice item, that has been folded!

the SSUS had forms for everything! this little sheet could be filled out for any Tournament a passenger desired to participate in while on board. nice list of choices

2 sheets full of Housekeeping facts and figures  for the ship:200 tons of food on each voyage, over 80000 pieces of crockery,9100 square yard of wall to wall carpet and the list goes on and on. these were on the ship for may years and do show their age with toning. this has also been folded in half at some point.
