13279 Samaria Abstract of Log Card
Souvenir log given to passengers for the April 15, 1954, crossing, which lasted 7 days 10 hours and 15 minutes. Some very slight soiling on the back, but overall in excellent condition. $12.
Unusually rare menu for the war-time service of the Saxonia. She was one of a few lucky Cunarders to survive hostilities, finally being sold to Dutch shipbreakers in 1925. Excellent condition. $25.
Outstanding launch brochure for the first of the Canadian quartette of the 1950's. Very well illustrated with 20 pages and 15 images of her launch and full-color interior renderings. Excellent double-page fold-out color painting of her passing under the Quebec Bridge. Full-color maps of Canada on the inside front and back covers. Excellent condition with some bumping to corners. $45.
Tourist-class plan from May of 1957. Folds open to 44" x 9". It's curious that Cunard spent so much money on the Canadian quartette, of which Saxonia was the first ship, when by Cunard's own admission, the company never made any money on the Canadian service. She later became the Carmania after being rebuilt for cruising. In 1973 she was sold to the Soviets and became the Leonid Sobinov. She was finally scrapped just a few years ago. Great condition. $18.

2699 Scotia Photo, Artist’s Rendering
Nice photo of an artist’s rendering of the Scotia. Don’t know the date this was made. Not a very old print, but definitely not a modern print either. Perhaps it was made by Cunard for publicity purposes (?). Measures 10” x 8”. In very good condition. $12.
2700 Servia Photo, Artist’s Rendering
Nice photo of an artist’s rendering of the Servia. Don’t know the date this was made. Not a very old print, but definitely not a modern print either. Perhaps it was made by Cunard for publicity purposes (?). Measures 10” x 8”. In very good condition. $12.

Nice breakfast menu from the Sylvania dated 21 July 1960. The selection of items on this one is a bit limited when compared to the previous two menus, but this may have been a disembarkation menu, and the choices are usually a bit more limited on arrival days. Don’t see too many breakfast menus! In very good condition. A quantity available. $5.

Program for a charity concert held on board on August 26. Oddly, no year is given, but probably dates to 1901 given the information contained inside. In great condition with a nice portrait of Umbria/Etruria on the back. $25.

1659 Cunard Ashtray (ca. 1960s)
Excellent example of one of the ashtrays used on board the Cunard vessels in the 1960s. With some slight air bubbles trapped in the glass during the manufacturing process, this ashtray is in excellent condition with only a tiny bit of red paint off the “R” in “Cunard.” Could easily be fixed if you wanted to.

Great Cunard White Star sailing schedule dated 5 June 1936. Lists complete sailings for the entire fleet (both trans-Atlantic and cruises) and rates for each ship. What’s interesting about this is that there is also an ad for a Cunard White Star Deferred Payment Plan, whereby you cruise now and pay later! The credit application is also included.

10420 Cunard Soap
An interesting bar of Cunard soap. Passengers on board Cunard liners had a choice of either fresh or salt water baths, and it is believed that this is a specially formulated bar of soap for use in salt water because, from what we have been told, regular soap will not lather in salt water. Company name imprinted on the front. In good condition. $8.
