1905-05-26 SS Pretoria Dinner Menu
Vintage Dinner Menu from Friday, 26 May 1905 on board the SS Pretoria of the Hamburg America Line featured Striped Bass à la Meunière, Saddle of Veal, Wax Beans, and Mixed Ice Cream for dessert. The Menu, printed in English and German, included a Concert Program.
Our collection contains a sampling of menus initially produced and printed by the steamship lines. They are often used to illustrate family history books for immigrants from this time.
