1937 RMS BRITANNIC CUNARD WHITE STAR LINE LIST OF TOURIST PASSENGERS OTHER INFO
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:28585183 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom |
Upfor sale is a relatively well-preserved Tourist Passenger List, dated August 7, 1937, from the RMS Britannic, a vessel of the British Cunard White Star Line, which itself is stapled into a red, gold, and black pictorial folder that is quite damaged (most likely as a result of having been pasted into a scrapbook or the like). The blue-inked 28-page passenger list measures approximately 5 by 7-1/4 inches, while the folder to which it is attached is slightl...y larger, 5-1/2 by 8-1/4 inches.
The red, black, and gold cover has a gold-on-black map at the top -- the same image of the Atlantic Ocean with parts of North and South America at the left and Europe and Africa on the right is on the back as on the front -- and the red section below has an embossed crown-surmounted ship in gold with a banner reading "CUNARD WHITE STAR" underneath it.
The first page, or front cover, of the Art Deco-style blue-on-white booklet stapled within reads:

The last four pages have information on other Cunard White Star "Cruises and American Holidays, " on the Britannic as well as the ships Carinthia, Berengaria, Georgic, for "Cruises from America, 1937, " which go to places in Canada, Cuba, the Bahamas, and the West Indies. A list of "Westbound Sailings" and another of "Eastbound Sailings" are on the second- and third to last pages, and the ships listed are the Franconia, Britannic, Athenia, Ausonia, Aquitania, Antonia, Ascania, Laconia, Berengaria, Queen Mary, Samaria, Letitia, Aurania, Georgic, Andania, Alaunia, and Scythia.
On the last page is a list of ports of call on the SS Franconia, for its "World Cruise, 1938, " with "Rates from $1900 (including Standard Shore Excursions, " and the cities are New York, Port of Spain, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, St. Helena, Capetown, Port Elizabeth, Durban, Diego Suarez, Port Victoria (Seychelles), Bombay, Colombo, Penang, Singapore, Paknam (Bangkok), Batavia, Semarang, Padang Bay (Bali), Sandakan, Manila, Touraine, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Chinwangtao, Chemulpo, Nagasaki, Miyajima, Kobe, Yokohama, Honolulu, Hilo, San Pedro, Balboa, Cristobal, and then back to New York.
Here's the start of the Wikipedia article on the RMS (MV) Britannic (not to be confused with the HMHS Britannic, which in 1916 was sunk off the Greek island by the Germans in World War I):MV Britannic was a transatlantic ocean liner and the penultimate ship owned by the White Star Line before its merger with the Cunard Line in 1934, and was the third company ship to bear the name. Constructed by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, the ship was delivered to White Star Line in 1930 and assigned to the Liverpool-New York line, from 1932 she was joined by her sister ship MY Georgic. When White Star Line merged with Cunard Line in 1934, the ship's route changed to the London-New York line, and she later provided winter Mediterranean cruises. During World War II, she was used to transport troops, carrying 173, 550 people. Resuming commercial service in 1948 after being overhauled, the ship experienced a number of problems in the 1950s, including two fires. However this diesel-powered ship's career continued until 1960, when she was sold for scrap to Thos. W. Ward. Britannic was the last ship constructed for White Star Line to remain in service.
Theoverall condition of this Art Deco-style triple-stapled glossy blue-on-white passenger list, attached within a slightly larger gold, red, and black Cunard White Star pictorial folder (with considerable damage), is good. The gilt and embossed folder likely was glued into a scrapbook or the like at some point, and then removed from it, leaving residual white paper, rubbing, smudging, etc., all over its surface (which is how I sourced it). The 24-page Tourist Passenger List and the lovely paste-down color illustration of a ship on the second page are in much better shape, though age-toned / browned / yellowed, foxed, smudged, rubbed, etc., with the most marked shadowing and browning on the front and rear covers only (likely caused by a chemical reaction to the paper on the inside cover of the gold, red, and black Cunard folder). The blue-inked white paper is clean and unmarked by human hands, with no annotations, marginalia, underlining, scribbles, etc. The three silver-tone metal staples have rusted, causing some browning on the adjacent paper in two places (at the centerfold and then twelve pages later). There's no major damage or flaws to the list in the way of clipped or missing pages, tape repairs, water or other liquid stains, large tears, etc. The folder and passenger list within have a slight musty odor but no smoky smell.
This1937 Tourist Passenger List from the RMS Britannic of the Cunard White Star Line is being sold AS IS, as described above and picturedherein. I am setting what I believe is a reasonable startingprice for the booklet, and there is NO RESERVE. I am also including a Buy It Now price.

If ithappens that I have underestimated the shipping price, I hope you will notbe averse to my increasing the required amount, once I get the itempacked and ready for shipping. Likewise, if I've overestimated the cost forshipping, I will issue you a reasonable refund via PayPal.
