The Danish Open-Faced Anchovy Sandwiches have been served every Christmas for as long as I can remember (1950s). The sandwich was the favorite of my Grandfather who emigrated from Trondheim, Norway in 1913 to the United States. The sandwiches are easy to make and taste great for those who love the taste of Anchovies.

This post war Christmas Season menu was likely viewed by the many British war brides that made the voyage after the war to their new home and life in America. Menu featured Potage St. Germain, Grilled Fresh Herrings with Mustard Sauce, Tenderloin Hamburger Steak with Garmi Saratoga Potatoes and Compote de Fruits.

The following sailors or their families are seeking a replacement book or scans of a section(s) of their company's Anchor Graduation Book. If you have this book in your possession, please contact the requestor by email.

The following sailors or their families are seeking a replacement book or scans of a section(s) of their company's Rudder Graduation Book. If you have this book in your possession, please contact the requestor by email.

The following sailors or their families are seeking a replacement book or scans of a section(s) of their company's Keel Graduation Book. If you have this book in your possession, please contact the requrestor by email.

As you may probably know, only a very limited number of copies were printed of each yearbook. Typically, copies of a book become available when one of your classmates (or heirs) decides to sell their copy of the book. We have all of our inventory of Keel and Anchor books uploaded. We also hope that more sailors will scan in their books and forward the scans to us so that our collection becomes more complete in the future.

In the meantime, we recommend that you set up a Google alert for Great Lakes or San Diego 19xx Naval training center and check with the US Navy – they have some holdings - http://www.history.navy.mil/library/guides
/yearbooks.htm but their collection is quite incomplete.

A number of graduation books are sold via eBay, so you will probably want to visit eBay on a regular basis. I recommend setting up a search, include descriptions for Keel Great Lakes or Anchor San Diego or keel navy book or anchor navy nook. As sellers are not uniform on what they call the book, it is best to work with a more generic search terms.

While everyone knows the new White Star liner was the most glamorous and was full of millionaires when she sank, few appreciate just how luxurious she was. Even in Third Class, the accommodation was better than on First Class on many older ships.

For the first time, Bruce Beveridge, Steve Hall and Scott Andrews look at the ship itself, and at her interior design and fittings. From cobalt blue Spode china and Elkington plate silverware in the a la carte restaurant to the design of the boilers and fixtures and fittings onboard the world’s most luxurious vessel, they tell the story of a liner built at the peak of the race between the British, French and Germans to build bigger and better ships.

ADDRESS BY THE HON. JOSEPH H. CHOATE,

June 6th, 1905, on board Cunard Line R.M.S. " Caronia."

THE Hon. Joseph H. Choate, late American Ambassador in London, was Chairman at the Concert held on board the R.M.S. " Caronia," on Tuesday evening, June 6th, 1905.

From memory, the following is a rough sketch of his address :—

" I have been commanded to take the chair at the Concert this evening by the Captain of the ship, whose word, as you all know, is law. We are all in the power of the Captain, and he can do what he likes with us, therefore, it is policy to obey his commands without hesitation. a. I don't know, I'm sure, why he should have selected me for this task, unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, and I was rather dismayed when I received his command, but I knew there was no use trying to decline, so here I am in the poktion of Chairman.

Period Advertisement from 1908 from the London & North Western Railroad of England that touted their exclusive access to the Riverside Station in Liverpool located adjacent to the Liverpool Landing Stage.

Photo Insert: Landing Stage and Station.

A SPECIAL NON-STOP VESTIBULE TRAIN leaves for London (Euston) soon after the arrival of Transatlantic Steamers, covering the distance under four hours. Save time and avoid expense in crossing the town by taking the Express from the. Riverside Station.

THE attention of passengers is. specially drawn to the facilities provided by the Cunard Line for their American patrons in reaching London and the Continent by travelling via Fishguard on the South Wales Coast, which is now recognised as the most expeditious route.

The " Lusitania " and " Mauretania" will leave the New York Pier at 9 a.m. and proceed direct to Fishguard, without calling at Queenstown. All other New York Steamers will call at both Queenstown and Fishguard.

Some Typical Staterooms and their costs for transatlantic voyages onboard the Ocean Liners of the United States Lines or the American Merchant Line one-class ships.

(All rates quoted are for one-way "off-season" passage to British ports. Staterooms are on the Manhattan and Washington unless otherwise stated.)

$227. This luxurious outside room on "A" deck measures 16' 7" x 11' 8". With it, a sizeable foyer where your trunks can be kept out of the way—a tiled bath with built-in tub. Similar rooms with shower for $214.

Feel the excitement of planning and embarking on a transatlantic voyage onboard one of our luxurious ocean liners or even an economy voyage in our one-class ships of the American Merchant Line. We'll Get You There In Style.

Through Europe in your own car — easily and inexpensively. You drive onto the pier in New York ... and off the pier in Europe. You can travel over modern European highways, see new places and new people, and at the same time "know the car you're driving." There's no better way to really see the countries you visit.

Putting on the crowning touch for a picture, but this time the Roosevelt's cameraman was a bit ahead of schedule.

See passengers engage in a number of activities and events on board the ocean liners of the United States Lines. From dancing to relaxing on the promenade in a deck chair to playing a game of deck tennis. It's all here.

Forty winks before dinner. . And a comfortable deck chair certainly is "tops" for this purpose.

Below are photographs taken from the ocean liners of the United States Lines showing views of the harbors, sea and activities nearing the ports of call.

Here's an interesting "shot" of the Washington taken on Sailing Day. Those puffs of white by the forward funnel are the blasts of the whistle as the huge ship backs from her pier, her band playing gaily, and her rails lined with voyagers waving last "au revoirs" to their friends on shore.

The Washington and her sistership, the Manhattan, are the largest and fastest vessels flying the American flag. Their graceful lines and trim proportions have earned for them recognition as two of the most beautiful vessels afloat.

Life on board an Ocean Liner of the United States Lines shown in these photographs taken on the S.S. Washington and S.S. Manhattan including a photo of Commodore Albert J. Randall of the Manhattan.

SPRING AND SUMMER TRAVEL NUMBER 1938

United States Lines Log

Every year, especially at the peak season during the summer months, we he had to disappoint many of our former passengers simply because there were no accommodations left. So if you are planning a trip to Europe. this year, we are taking this opportunity to urge you to make your reservations at the earliest possible moment. Even though passenger lists for summer sailings are rapidly reaching capacity, there are a number of good accommodations still available. But once again—see your Travel Agent now so that you can get just the type of stateroom you want.

The July-August Issue of The Archivist provides an insightful look at the Cunard Line and the transatlantic voyages from Europe to Canada that brought many immigrants to Canada. Among the featured articles is one about Passenger Lists that will be very helpful to geneologist researching their Canadian ancestors who made the voyage to Canada via Steamships by Sheila Powell, Bovernment Archives Division.

FROM A GRAFLEX NEGATIVE.
GRAFLEX

The camera that does the difficult things in photography and does them well.
And it is not merely in speed work that the Graflex excels. For pictures in and about the home it is a distinctively superior instrument. The focal plane shutters and high speed lenses make " snap-shots " possible under conditions where only time exposures could be made with a camera of any other type, while, by the Graflex reflecting principle, the picture to be made is seen right side up and of full size, up to the very instant of exposure.

What a story of progress in screen pictures the past quarter century tells! I wonder if any of the older Mentor readers remember the picture shows and panoramas of the days, or, rather, the nights of the seventies and early eighties! Does anyone recall Professor Cromwell and his picture lectures?

For years Professor Cromwell exercised the spell of the "magic lantern"—we came to know it later as the "stereopticon"—and he enhanced the charm of his entertainment with a piano at one side of the stage and a melodion at the other, on which he discoursed sweet musical strains, while he revealed the melting beauty of "dissolving views,"—a new thing then in picture shows.

In days before Professor Cromwell's innovations there were screen pictures that replaced each other abruptly, one after another, and panoramapictures that moved on rollers. How vivid and gaudy were the pictures of that time!

"PUT OUT THE LIGHT, PLEASE" - LAST WORDS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE

SOCRATES: "Krito, we owe a cock to lEsculapius; discharge the debt and by no means omit it."

RALEIGH: "Why dost thou not strike? Strike, man!" (To the executioner who was hesitating.)

CHARLES I.: "Remember!"

CHARLES II.: "Don't let poor Nelly starve." (Referring to his favorite Nell Gwri).

MME. DE POMPADOUR: "Un moment, Monsieur le Cur, nous nous en irons ensemble." ("One moment—we will go together." To the cure of the Madeleine, who had called to see her, and was taking his leave, as she seemed just about to expire).

THE American rocking chair, out of fashion and favor in the last generation, may be restored to its old place of honor in the home by the recent declaration of an eminent French medical man that rocking quiets the nerves.

The rocking chair, comparatively unknown in Europe, has been regarded generally as an American contrivance, but students of furniture are unable to trace its origin. Rocking chairs are said to have been known in India ages ago, where they were regarded as cooler than the ordinary kind.

Rocking chairs were probably made in America before 1750; but there is no historical record to bear this out. It is thought that the first rockers were merely ordinary Windsor chairs cut down and fitted with short boards rounded on the bottom.

A. M. WILLARD

ARCHIBALD WILLARD died some years ago, but his soul, like that of John Brown, still "goes marching on." He painted it on canvas for all of us to see, and it is called "The Spirit of '76." The painting is not a notable contribution to art.

When it was first exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in 1876 it created no enthusiasm in the art world; no critic hailed it as the work of a new genius ; no art lovers burned incense before it. But every man, woman and child that cherished the simple, rock-bottom principles of patriotism greeted the picture with a quickening heart-beat.

IN American annals no political speech, unless it be Webster's Reply to Hayne, ever made more stir or won more fame than did PatrickHenry's appeal of 1775.

". . Give me liberty,i,or give me ath!" this much we often quote; but what more do we remember? And where were these words uttered? Before the Continental Congress in Philadelphia? No: it was before a Virginia convention in Richmond. Was the convention held in the capitol on Shockoe Hill? No, for the capitol was not begun until 1785; it was based on plans that Jefferson supplied of a rarely beautiful Roman temple.

WHERE PATRICK HENRY SAID IT

TEN years ago Thomas Edison taught a group of children science by using motion pictures. The results were so convincing that he expressed himself as "on fire to spread this means of education broadcast."

SEEING THE LESSON
Courtesy Patheseope Co.

"The royal road to learning lies along the film highway," says a college professor. In New York alone, more than one hundred schools now use educational films. In every twentieth school in the United States there is a projection machine.

Children who learn by means of motion pictures visualize dots on the map as hives buzzing with life and industry. History is reconstructed on the screen. Bygone days are lived over again; Joan of Arc, George Washington, Betsy Ross, Napoleon, become real figures of romance and action.

By S. L. ROTHAFEL
Creator of the Motion Picture Program de Luxe

NOT so many years ago, fifteen to be exact, I was running a little movie show behind a barroom in a mining town in Pennsylvania. It was a one-man show. I paintea- my own displays, ran the projection machine, and sometimes walked miles to the nearest exchange to get the pictures.

Even then, I had confidence in the entertainment value of the motion picture—as much, I think, as I have in my present capacity as director of productions at the world's largest theater—not only the largest one consecrated to the Motion Picture muse, but the largest devoted to any theatrical enterprise.

By HERBERT E. HANCOCK
Director-General of News Film

TWO hundred years ago there were three Estates, the Clergy, the Nobility, and the rest of us. Then Edmund Burke, the great British statesman, found a Fourth in the Press Gallery of the House of Commons. If he were alive today he would create a Fifth Estate, and would designate screen reporters as its members.

The worn-out saying, absolutely incorrect, that "The Motion Picture industry is in its infancy," can be applied with more truth to the News Reel which, however;', rapidly approaching a state of adolescence. The wrong-doer of today dreads the searching lens of the camera even more than the vitriolic pencil point of the reporter, while the hero and the publicity seeker vigorously dust off the "Welcome" on the door-mat at the approach of both.

By REX BEACH
Author of "The Spoilers," "The Silver Ifarde," "The Barrier," "The Iron Trail" etc.

THE public is beginning to pay more attention to motion pictures and to treat them seriously. There is a new attitude developing all over the country that is very significant, especially in regard to well-known authors in pictures.

Producers have been pricked into activity by new enterprises that have engagteli the services of establiiled writers—writers of books that make picture material of wide appeal and range of interest—writers whose names frequently appear in the best American and English periodicals.

By RUPERT HUGHES

Dramatist, Novelist, and Short-story Writer

"PICTURES" have had good stories for a long time. What pictures have failed to do is to advance with their audiences. When pictures were first thrown upon a screen it was a very wonderful thing to see a man walk, or stretch out his arm, or smile. Later it was even more wonderful to see a train wrecked or a house burned or a maiden rescued. But now all those things are no longer novelties.

By HENRY ARTHUR JONES

Author of "The Silver King," "Saints ancl4Sinnef," "Middleman," "Mrs. Dane's Defence," etc.

THE dramatist wins enduring renown by his dialogue, and by his dialogue alone. To write a successful play he must of course have other gifts and acquirements. He must call in the scene-painter, the upholsterer, the costumer, the electrician, and other adjutants to help him to express himself. But his dialogue alone has permanent value;' all the rest of is trappings are perishable. The difference between "Macbeth" or "Hamlet" and a stock melodrama is that "Macbeth" and "Hamlet" can be read and studied as literature.

SCENERY THAT ACTS
Courtesy Goldwyn

The scenes made for "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" are the latest word in moving picture background. They picture the hallucination of an unbalanced mind. The story of the drama is told by an inmate of an asylum who believes the leading physician of the asylum to be the reincarnation of an evil Dr. Caligari who lived in the twelfth century, and who traveled about the country with a somnambulist whom he exhibited at fairs.

By HUGO DAWN, Artist and Director

DURING the past few years motion picture producers have given the subject of sets and settings their serious consideration. They have employed men skilled in architecture, in effects of light and shade, in the disposition of masses of color and in suitability.

The producer now realizes the value of color—the simplified background—the balance of wall and window space. Today the actor's work is less difficult to follow. His skill is not confused by screaming designs, by inappropriate and misapplied ornateness.

Early motion pictures representedwhat the man that dressed the set considered refined luxury, and what the dramatic director was willing to accept as background. The average director still has a powerful fancy for flamboyant walls and furnishings; some have been converted from this grotesque sort of decoration, We have progressed, but still have before us a lengthy course. The development of beauty travels a snail's pace.

Landscapes are changed and historic buildings reconstructed. Scotch Thrums comes to life on the meadows of Long Island ; King Arthur's towers rise among the brown hills of California. Gigantic walls make a towering background for a Babylonian pageant.

Barrie's village of Thrums was recreated near Elmhurst, Long Island, for the film play based on the Scotch author's books about. "Sentimental Tommy," recently released.

By Rt. Hon. SIR GILBERT PARKER

I HAVE never been converted to approval of motion pictures. I believed in them from the first, and further acquaintance with the art—I use this word deliberately—has only deepened my faith.

I know how bad so many of the pictures shown on the screen are, but the art is very young and progress made since the days of the "nickelodeons" is immense. To what is the progress due? Not alone to the manufacturers of motion-pictures, but also to the public. The public taste has developed and with its development has come a demand for better and better pictures.

It seemed to be thought at one time that the semi-nude and the slightly salacious were needed to draw the public, but that day is fast going. On the whole, the public taste is right. It may flirt with the suggestive on the stage, but in the end it is true to the best instincts of life.

Some might call this picture "In Arcady" but that would not explain why a famous novelist is shaking hands with a pleasant-faced man in a checked suit.

When the film has gone through a series of laboratory processes, it comes back to the dramatic director to be "cut," that is, to be assembled in relation to the sequence of time and climactic effect. The director, with a man or woman cutter at his side, spends days in a projection room. The film is clipped and joined according to his instructions. The success of a picture may depend upon the skill of a director in cutting.

A BATTERY OF CAMERAS
Courtesy Metro

On a June day in 1894, an amateur inventor named Jenkins arrived at his home town in Indiana on vacation from his job in the Treasury Department, Washington. A mysterious box had preceded him. When it was unpacked, the neighbors were called in to see what was to be known in history as "the first movie show" the first exhibition of motion pictures projected on a screen.

When Jenkins exhibited his motion pictures at an Atlanta exposition, people refused to pay the admission fee in advance. The exhibitor had to let his patrons go in first and see the miracle, before they could be convinced that it was not a swindle. A combination of the Edison and Jenkins-Armat interests resulted in the creation of the Vitascope, a radical improvement over the picture machines into which one looked through an eye-piece, or "peep-hole."

NATURE NO OBSTACLE

Who invented the movies? Few of the thirteen million patrons who daily attend America's thirty thousand moving picture theaters realize how long and imposing is the gallery of cinema inventors. Many men of different nationalities have shared in the mechanical development of this most popular form of dramatics.

It was Lucretius, a Roman physicist, born about 96 B. C., who first recorded the scientific principle of moving pictures, or, rather, of pictures that appear to move. Motion in pictures is an illusion. You have seen a boy whirl a stone at the end of a string, and you recall that you saw a continuous circle. The eye retains the impression of an object approximately one-sixteenth of a second after the object passes on or disappears.

A PICTURE AT WHITE HEAT

Of one hundred impressions received by the mind, eighty-seven are conveyed through the eyes. The love of movement is instinctive in us. We like to see the world go by. And the world, and his wife, and his children give universal pleasure when they act out their lives on the "vertical stage" of the screen.

A learned man tells us that when we look on a motion picture we are doing the easiest thing man can do," so far, at least, as concerns the intellectual reactions aroused by the presence of an outer world. The movie eye is primeval. The movies were born almost in the mud of the world's first seas. To attend the movie is to be primitive.

Because the movie demands for its understanding and enjoyment the use of little more than the most primitive of all man's faculties, it wins a frightful popularity." Mr. Dana does not assume, of course, that all moving pictures are "easy to look at." I am sure he agrees with me that many of them are very hard on the eyes, and on the intelligence.

MOTION PICTURES: THE MIRACLE OF MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY
By D. W. GRIFFITH

Creator of "Birth of a Nation," "Hearts of the World," "Broken Blossoms," "Way Down East"

SOON after the release of my first war picture, " Hearts of the World," I received a letter from an eminent historian. I shall always treasure the letter, especially for this paragraph: "History must hereafter be divided into four epochs: The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, the Age of the Printed Page—and the Film Age. In a single picture you have produced a vital human record that embodies the spirit and the soul of the war with deeper reality than all the books combined."

You remember, during the spring of 1917, the dire reports that came from the battle front. The Premier, summoning the gifted men of Britain, is reported to have consulted with them as to the best and quickest way to stiffen the nation's morale.

By W. W. Thomas, Jr.

It was a pleasant July evening as we steamed away from Stockholm through the wide thoroughfare by Furusund, and I lingered long on deck in the glowing Northern twilight enjoying the beautiful views of luminous water reaches. dotted with dark spruce-crowned isles.

There was not much to see in the morning except a long, low line of woods seemingly growing out of the water and extending on our port hand as far as the eye could reach. As to beauty of landscape, one might as well coast along the shores of North Carolina. These low strands are characteristic of the Gulf of Bothnia, and stretch their monotonous length to its northernmost cove. What a contrast to the lofty Norwegian Fjelds which tower a mile above the sea on the west coast of the Scandinavian peninsula. I was altogether glad when we steamed in between the long, wooden jettys where the Dal River pours into the gulf, and exchanged the boat Gefle for the city of the same name.

Volume 25, Number 154 2001

The secular history in Belfast at the time of Olympic and Titanic building, an overlooked aspect of the liners' story is put into perspective.

IN MEMORIAM SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

A picture of serenity in an earlier time—one of two towers completed at the new World Trade Center.

Several thousand people from 80 countries died in the attack. Our sincere thanks to our friends around the world who wrote telephoned and emailed their concern—messages of shock and condolences. We all were affected but we are united. There will be some delays and everyone will be patient. It took our enemy's savagery to remind us what some have forgotten.

We've been indoctrinated with the cult of multiculturalism - separate groups, and told to abandon the melting pot that is America. We are not a multicultural nation; we are one nation, one people, regardless of color, creed, how long our families have been here or where they came from—and unique in the annals of human history.

In time of war, it's easy to remember what binds us together; we are fighting to protect our freedom, to preserve our democracy, continue our way of life and to sustain our unity. America welcomes newcomers and there has never been a time when it was more important to recommit ourselves to the concept of the melting pot.

The preservation and knowledge of history which is this Society's mission, must be re-invigorated in our citizens as well as our newcomers—learning history in depth so the foundations of democracy are understood. We turn our diversity into a strength by creating a common identity from our various strands.

Like steel, an alloy of iron and carbon, we become stronger from the union of elements forging them into one. And if this lesson is not learned, it will not be terrorists who destroy us but ourselves.

THE EXCEPTIONAL THIRD CLASS OF THE SCANDINAVIAN-AMERICAN LINE

We believe the third class accommodations of the Scandinavian-American Line are unsurpassed. There is 310 steerage. Passengers in this class are assured of exceptional facilities.

Third Class Promenade Deck, S.S. Oscar II

The third class staterooms—all of which are spacious, and well ventilated—are comfortably furnished with iron beds, springs, mattresses, sheets, pillows and woolen blankets, wash-stands, mirrors, towels, soap and water. Supplied with fresh drinking water. Kept in order by stewards and stewardesses. They accommodate two, four and six passengers, this arrangement enabling whole families to keep together.

Second Cabin Accommodations - Scandinavian American Line - 1917

THE SECOND CABIN ROOMS

The Dining Room, located on the saloon deck, is finished in polished oak, and in furnishings and attractiveness is comparable with the First Cabin Dining Room.

Corner of the Second Cabin Dining Room, S.S. Oscar II, Hellig Olav and United States

The Smoking Room and Ladies Room are likewise furnished and decorated with the idea of providing passengers with every comfort and most of the luxuries of the first cabin.

Second Cabin Smoking Room, S.S. Oscar II, Hellig Olav and United States

The Second Cabin Staterooms for two, three and four passengers are located on the saloon and upper decks; and are furnished in the same style as those in the First Cabin.

First cabin accommodations on these steamers are located amidships on the promenade and saloon decks. The staterooms are of liberal size, and well ventilated. They contain washstands, wardrobes and sofas, and are furnished in good taste, and always with the ideal of real comfort for the passengers uppermost.

OSCAR II, HELLIG OLAV and UNITED STATES

The Oscar II, Hellig Olav and United States Steamships of the Scandianvian American Line

These three steamers were built at the famous shipyards of Alexander Stephen and Sons, on the Clyde, Scotland. They are of steel construction throughout, each measuring 515 feet long, 58 feet wide and 42 feet from keel to upper deck.

The second class accommodations of the Leviathan were the choice of many middle and upper-middle class passengers in 1923. Below are photographs of the Social Hall and Lobby encountered by thes Second Class passengers. There are also facts and information on the steamship Leviathan and a listing of other ships of the United States Lines.

The passenger who elects to travel second class on the Leviathan will find both luxury and comfort in this stately Social Hall.

Experience the first class luxuries of this grand ocean liner, Leviathan, in its Suites and Staterooms. These photographs include a number of women passengers in the latest fashions from the 1920's.

The Social Hall

This is a Louis XIV room with magnificent French Oak panelling. It is shown here in its winter dress with curtains of rich red, copied from an old French damask of the Louis XIV period.

Like all the other rooms of the Leviathan this one has decorations for both winter and summer. The summer curtains will be of the hand-blocked linen with bouquets taken from a famous Van Hueysen flower painting. There is also a magnificent lacquered screen, especially painted by Robert W. Chandler.

Large format photographs taken on board the steamship Leviathan in 1923 showing views of passengers in the Ritz-Carlton Restaurant and Room, The First Class Library and the beautiful Winter Garden.

The Ritz-Carlton Restaurant is superbly elegant. Rich and formal in every line it represents a masterpiece of artistic decoration.

The Ritz-Carlton Room

HE Ritz-Carlton Restaurant, finished in the style of the Empire, is a feature of exceptional decorative interest.

All the wood-work is of mahogany, exquisitely carved. The ornaments, of cut metal in a dull, old gold finish, the frescoed ceiling, the chair coverings in plum color and old gold, the perfectly matched carpets, all combine to give an atmosphere of the richest beauty.

Beginning with the history of the Leviathan as a WWI troup carrier, the post-war refitting of the ex-Vaterland to its initial configuration as a steamship of the United States Lines in 1923 used on the New York to Cherbourg and Southampton route.

The photograph above was taken with nearly 13,000 troops aboard — the greatest number ever carried by any ship.

The HAMBURG-AMERICAN LINE, established on May 27, 1847, has the distinction of being the oldest of the German lines. The Company began with a capital of only $112,000, and from this insignificant beginning has grown to such magnitude, that to-day, the Company's fleet comprises 331 vessels, of which number 149 are large transatlantic steamers with a total tonnage of 764,551 tons.

The entire fleet at first consisted of three sailing vessels, of which one named the " Deutschland" was the first to make the trip from Hamburg to New York under the Company's flag. She was a square-rigged three-master of about 717 tons.

Steam power was adopted in 1855 when the first two steamships were contracted for. These entered the service in 1856 and maintained a monthly service between Europe and the United States. This new service by steam vessels proved so successful that frequent additions to the fleet became necessary, the sailing vessels were disposed of, and by 1867 the Company's service was operated by ten large transatlantic steamers: They also owned numerous smaller craft, a costly dry dock and valuable real estate holdings.

HOWEVER marked the change for the better in the modern First and Second Class passenger accommodation, both these must yield to the Third Class (" Steerage " no longer) in the extra­ordinary transformation that has taken place of recent years.

The democratic age we live in demands strenuous efforts on the part of steamship companies to provide nothing short of the best for Third Class patrons; and it is well known that the White Star Line has from its inception been the forerunner of many improvements, with the result that for years past it has carried the largest number of Third Class passengers from these shores to New York.

In former days, the accommodation consisted entirely of what might be termed open dormitories, whereas now it includes good separate airy cabins

THE WHITE STAR LINE recognizes that in this progressive age there is an increasing number of travelers who do not perhaps desire the luxury of the First Class accommodation, but wish for the highest modicum of comfort in keeping with a reasonable rate of passage.

The White Star Line, moreover, has always made it a point to be satisfied with nothing less than the highest standard of excellence as regards its arrangements for the comfort of travelers. That its efforts have been duly appreciated is apparent when we learn that the White Star Line, during the years 1904 and 1905, carried a larger number of First Class pas­sengers to New York than any other Atlantic Line.

The accompanying illustrations represent a few of the well-known Liners of the fleet, and we take the opportunity to here refer to the principal features likely to interest the travelling public. It has been seen that the “Oceanic” is 17,274 tons gross register; her great length (704 feet over all), and breadth (68 feet), have given an opportunity for arranging passenger accommodation at once spacious, airy, and exceptionally comfortable. The decorations of some of the principal apartments and staircase, designed by the eminent architect, Mr. R. Norman Shaw, R.A., are in every way excellent; indeed the artistic taste displayed throughout has been universally admired.

To begin with, the Library, which, situated on the promenade deck, is 53 feet long by 40 feet wide. A truly handsome apartment is this. Entering by lofty folding doors of mahogany, the visitor finds himself in a bay or recess -- one of seven grouped round the apartment -- the other six forming cozy corners adapted for reading and conversation

The Story of the Cunard Line

Next to safety, the considerations which have chiefly weighed with the Cunard Company are those of speed and of the comfort, not to say the luxury and enjoyment, of the passengers. Sufficient has, perhaps, already been said to emphasize the success which has followed the enterprise and efforts of the Company in these particulars.

Under such auspices, ocean travel has been robbed of the hardships, indeed terrors, with which it was formerly associated. In this connection the stewards' department has all-important functions to serve, for the commissariat of a great ocean liner is a serious business. The chief steward may have to cater for 500, 1,000 or 1,500 persons, for five, six, or seven days if the weather be fine, or for a longer period if it be stormy.

The Cunard Steamship Campania, Shown at Sea.

Here is the sort of provisioning which has been made for an average summer voyage of the Etruria, reckoning on 547 cabin passengers and a crew of 287 persons, and, if the figures be increased proportionately, the catering requirements for a voyage on the Campania can be approximated :

The Story of the Cunard Line

The next additions to the Cunard fleet were the Catalonia, Pavonia and Cephalonia, which were placed upon the Boston service, and then, in 1883, came a new type of vessel in the Aurania, which, while 45 feet shorter than the Servia, was five feet wider in the beam -- a circumstance which enabled material improvements to be introduced in the accommodation for first-class passengers.

This same year saw the launching for another Atlantic line at the yard of Messrs. John Elder & Co., at Glasgow, of the Oregon, whose compound, direct-acting inverted engines developed 13,500 indicated horse power, and enabled a speed of 18 knots to be attained. This sensational result immediately led the directors of the Cunard Line to order from the same builders two new vessels, which, while incorporating the best features of the Oregon, had others of their own, which, together, made the Umbria and Etruria, illustrated below, the fastest and finest ships then afloat.

With gross register of 8,127 tons, and engines indicating 14,500 horse power, a speed of 20 knots was secured. The Etruria, in its time, held the Atlantic record for speed, having accomplished the western passage in 5 days 20 hours and 55 minutes, and the eastern passage in 6 days 37 minutes.

The Cunard Steamers The Umbria and the Etruria

But the Cunard had not yet reached the acme of its Trans-Atlantic ambition. In 1892 was launched the Campania, and in 1893 the Lucania, which mighty sister vessels are the fastest yet produced from British shipyards.

SECOND CLASS PASSENGER ACCOMMODATIONS

Ladies Saloon (Second Class)

The public rooms for the second class passengers are all placed abaft the machinery on the upper arid promenade decks.

The dining saloon is on the upper deck, and is furnished in a style equal to that of the first-class saloons in ordinary ships, in solid oak, and fitted with tables, revolving chairs, sideboard, etc. This, together with a seperate room for children and servants of the second class, will enable the second class passengers to dine in two groups.

The drawing room is on the promenade deck at the head of the stairway leading to the dining room and staterooms.

STATE ROOMS.

The distinctive feature of the great majority of the state rooms is their great height, which approximates to to feet. This, of itself, insures satisfactory ventilation, while jalousies are adopted wherever practicable, and, in addition, Utley's system of ventilation is adopted, as we shall describe later on, so that even in the case of those rooms which are not close to the shell of the ship, the air will be changed frequently.

The beds throughout the ship are entirely of iron. The old type of wooden berth, which was more in keeping with the vessels of 20 or 30 years ago, has been entirely superseded, not only for passengers, but for officers, crew, and firemen. The beds in the state rooms are of Hoskin's " triptic" type, which combine lightness with strength. The upper bed, with all its bedding folds up against the bulkhead, so that in the event of a smaller number of passengers being on board, than is contemplated, in the ordinary course of events, there will always be much more room for those who are travelling.

Parlour and Bedroom

The lee board, while framed in iron, has carved mahogany panels, and a new feature has been adopted in this respect which will add greatly to the comfort of the passengers. In the old type of wooden berth the lee hoard extended the whole length of the berth and formed the front of a sort of box, in the act of getting into and out of which—especially if one occupied the upper berth—the passenger had to perform something approaching an acrobatic feat. The result was not always comfortable, nor the spectacle elegant.

THE SMOKING ROOM.

The smoking room has powerful counter attractions--material and otherwise. This apartment is about 40 feet long by 32 feet wide, and situated on the promenade deck aft, with a bar at one end. There is the same feeling of homeliness here in the fire burning brightly in the bronze dog grate, the flames dancing in the dark blue tiles of the hearth and cheeks,

The beautifully carved fire-place and overmantel are in excellent keeping, the woodwork being entirely of fumed oak, while the upholstering is in pigskin of the natural colour, which is certain to improve with wear. The style is of the Jacobean period, with the tables and chairs to suit. The whole tone is subdued and suggestive of elegant ease and comfort.

All round the smoking room are arranged small alcoves or recesses, each with little tables and chairs around the sides, so that here again, small parties may be formed to enjoy the comforts of the soothing pipe, or more elegant, if not more enjoyable cigar, or even—but tell it not in Gath !-- to take a friendly hand in that innocent game (not entirely unknown on the Atlantic) except "poker."

1893 Cunard Passenger's Log Book

KITCHEN ARRANGEMENTS.

The immensity which characterises the whole of the new ship is very properly extended to this department, for prompt service, essential to a well ordered establishment, is impossible without ample accommodation. Large pantries have therefore been provided, an apartment being fitted up on either side of the steamer, on the main deck, immediately aft of the dining saloon.

These pantries are fitted up in a most complete manner with all the details which the long experience of the Cunard Company's stewards suggested.

The fittings are more or less of standard patterns for this class of ship, but the magnitude of the equipment at once impresses the visitor, and notably the number of special fittings, such as hotplates, steam tables, tea and coffee machinery, etc.

The galleys or kitchens, have been arranged on the port side of the ship, and adjoining them are the bakeries and sculleries, Two lifts are provided in the galley for the rapid handling of the food supplies, one for taking to the scullery plates to be washed, while the other is used solely for service from the kitchen.

HEATING.

The whole of the passenger accommodation in the ship, including the public rooms, is heated by a most complete system of steam heating, all so arranged, that the whole or any part may be heated when required, Then the officers' and crew's quarters of the ship only, may be heated when the ship is in port and there are no passengers on board. The steam pipes are all covered with ornamental polished brass casings.

The dispensary and doctor's room is situated on the main deck, near the entrance to grand stair- case, and is fitted up with all appliances and requisites necessary, by Messrs. Frazer and Green, Chemists, Glasgow.

THE DINING SALOON

The First Class Dining Saloon is placed on the main deck, and is an apartment of immense size, the length overall being about 100 feet, and the breadth 62 feet. The general style of the Dining Saloon suggests the Italian. The walls are in old Spanish mahogany, of a design at once chaste and effective.

The upholstering is in dark red figured frieze velvet, and the curtains are in keeping, and here it may be interesting to note that there is a set of curtains suitable to the general scheme of decoration, for both summer and winter, for all the public and several of the private saloons.

This is the number of crew members required to operate and maintain the Cuunard steamships Campania and Lucania in 1893.

MANNING.

The crew, all told, number 424 men. It is divided into three groups or departments

1. sailing
2. engineers
3. stewards

The details of the departments are as follows:

Barber Shop

There is a barber's shop, fitted, as the advertisement would have it, with all the appliances for the proper treatment of hirsute appendages, and having an electric motor for driving the brushes.

LAVATORY ACCOMMODATION.

This has had special attention. The principal accommodation for gentlemen is on the upper deck aft, convenient to most parts of the ship, and particularly to the smoking room, from which there is a special stair.
