34104 Kungsholm Brochure It does not get much better than this for Swedish American Line! Superb entry-into-service brochure for the 1966 Kungsholm. Kungsolm was one of the last large liners built for the transatlantic run finishing up for SAL when they went under in 1975. She was built by the ailing John Brown shipyard in Scotland. She is still tenuously hanging on with us today as the Mona Lisa although she does not meet SOLAS standards going into effect this fall. I suspect she will not be sailing much longer. Mostly artist renderings in the brochure as the ship was so new. A great set of fold-out deck plans inside. $135. |

Originally built as the Potsdam for Holland America, she was acquired by Swedish American in 1915 and renamed Stockholm. In 1929, she was sold to Norwegian interests and was scuttled by German troops in 1944 to block the entrance to Cherbourg harbor. She was finally raised and broken up in 1947. Excellent condition. $25. |
