United States Lines: SS Leviathan Lavish Brochure

Probably the best brochure for the great SS Leviathan … this one is chock full of interior photos … all showing the gleaming reconditioned interiors. Gibbs spared no expense in reconditioning the ship to be the best ocean liner in service. The ornate cover is embellished with golden highlights. Lovely profile of the ship … and interesting glowing and descriptive text. Interestingly, Gibbs for sure would have been involved in the brochure’s design … he was watchful over all details.

Excellent Brass and Marble trophy for the Santa Mercedes .. in pristine shape with original box. Built for Grace and sold to Delta when Grace gave up on passenger service. The ships were built without traditional funnels .. and their funnels were added later in life for pretty much aesthetic reasons.

American Export Line: 4 Aces Mega-Deck plan

Outstanding, huge and magnificent deck plan done to cover AE’s popular 4 Aces. I have often wondered why the marketing team created such a huge an lavish deck plan for these little ladies but I think it was because they were so popular and such money earners for the fleet. If you love these little ladies.. this is the best Isometric DP done for them Post WW2. You can’t find one better than this ..excellent condition.

United States Lines: Leviathan at Newport News photo.

Awesome photo of the ship at NN. The year is 1922 and she will shortly be undergoing her enormous conversion to peacetime use directed by the young WFGibbs. The ships ghostly grey silhouette is shown against the shipyard.. the huge crane clearly in the back ground. Though she would never be a major breadwinner, she brought a lot of international prestige to the US Maritime Community. The photos is in great shape .. whiting on the back telling the date and location of the photo.

Chandris Lines: The Ultimate Australis Brochure: restocked

Well … I don’t think I have ever seen another Austrails brochure that even comes close to rivaling this one! There are lush full color images of the public rooms … many of which never changed from her glorious SS America days ( many America lovers will like this brochure too!!!) The brochure also had deckplans that showed how the crafty Greeks reconfigured cabins to hold more passengers and increase their profits. it’s just too bad she ended up being wrecked off the Canary Islands. The brochure is in excellent shape!

United States Lines: 1987 Reunion at USMMA Kings Point.

Wonderful little guest list for the 1987 USL reunion at the American Merchant Marine Museum. The gathering took place on Halloween 1987 … putting this in perspective, I would have graduated form High School only a few months before. Of Course Frank Braynard was a host … and his lovely wife Doris was also a volunteer. Several of the names stand out to me… Commodore Leroy and Mrs. Alexanderson, Nick Bachko and wife, Dan Eschen just to name a few. The photocopy list is cleverly placed inside a USL Passenger list folder. .. one of the 10000 that were probably available when the SSUS was laid up in 1969.
