I thought might find these items interesting as they’re from the Andrea Doria and please take note of the dates on them as one is dated only 13 days before the liner would go to the bottom of the ocean as one has the dates July 11-13, 1956 and the ship was hit on July 25 and sank July 26, 1956. I have stationary, envelopes, a Marconi wireless, bar napkin and weather sheets. Hard to believe only 12 days later she’d be hit and be in the news. The items cover from July 5-13, 1956. The square item with the folds is the cocktail napkin.

I have a postcard of her as the French Line's Flandre

Anyone remember this Greek line? I had a friend who was a travel agent in the 1960's and now I have the items. A couple are unique as they are signed by the Owner of the line. One is a Christmas card and the other is a New Years Card which is unique as has a picture of one of the ships on a copper sheet in the card. There is also a signed business card by the Line's owner. I also have a nice luggage tag and a nice lil pewter keychain in the shape of a ship's wheel.

What's your favorite memorabilia and souvenirs from Cunard Line? I have quite a lot from Cunard going back to 1896 to now. I have spoons, menus, ashtrays, brochures, a couple of record albums, a lot of postcards, cups, keychains, vase (I think), a medal, small knives, a trophy, souvenir bells, small map plates, a calendar card holder, tie clips, hats, a Norah Welling Doll, a small brass dish, playing cards, cookbooks, Inaugural brochures. Below are some of my Cunard souvenirs, I have more photos if you wish to see them, please let me know.

Anyone else like to get the souvenir decks in the gift shops on board cruise ships?
