SUMMARY:THE ART AND DESIGN OF MATSON'S POSTWAR LINERS ***ENCORE PRESENTATION*** Presented by Wayne Yanda
DESCRIPTION:Aloha!  During the postwar era\, the iconic white ships of Matson Lines were the way to travel to Hawaii and the South Seas. The quartet of LURLINE\, MATSONIA\, MARIPOSA\, and MONTEREY were practically rebuilt from the keel up to become icons of luxury travel in the Pacific. Their modern interiors\, by designers Raymond Loewy and Harry Neafie – crafted to ensconce the traveler in Polynesia the moment they stepped aboard – showcased murals and sculpture inspired by the destinations. Artists selected hailed from both coasts\, including Edna Andrade\, Esther Bruton\, Helen Bruton\, Marion Cunningham\, Francesco di Cocco\, Sargent Johnson\, Peter Ostuni\, Emmy Lou Packard\, Anton Refregier\, Louis Ross\, and Jacques Schnier. At our September membership meeting we joined maritime historian Wayne Yanda for a look at the modern-primitive stylings of these “Pacific Playgrounds.” \nWayne Yanda is a freelance graphic designer. He is also Editor and Contributor to the Ocean Times\, the quarterly journal of the Steamship Historical Society of America’s Southern California Chapter. He has catalogued the bulk of the art commissioned for American liners built between 1927 and 1962 on his website www.muralsonthehighseas.com. \nIf you missed Wayne’s presentation in September or would like to see it again\, we encourage you to join us for this encore showing on Saturday\, October 12th. \n(Photo: Wayne Yanda collection) \n

SUMMARY:ROYAL VIKING LINE - BEFORE AND BEYONDPresented by Clive Harvey
DESCRIPTION:While the origins of Royal Viking Line can be traced back to 1967\, its true origins go back much further. Bergen Line\, the initial company behind what would become Royal Viking Line\, had made a name for itself by operating cruises during the inter-war years with the luxurious yacht-like vessels STELLA POLARIS and METEOR.  After World War II\, Bergen Line made a return to cruising operations using the 1931-built VENUS on winter cruises from Plymouth to Madeira and the Canary Islands and with the then new METEOR on cruises further afield. \nBergen Line looked to expand its cruising operations. The Line worked with Knud E. Hansen A/S on a cruise ship design with the intention to offer world-class cruising that was just that little bit more special than all other luxury ships at the time. Once the order had been placed\, Bergen Line was approached by two other Norwegian shipping companies\, Det Nordenfjelske and A F Klaveness\, and in 1970 they founded Royal Viking Line. \nRoyal Viking Line achieved all that Bergen Line had envisaged and probably more. Its first three ships ROYAL VIKING STAR\, ROYAL VIKING SKY\, and ROYAL VIKING SEA became synonymous with worldwide luxury cruising. Although the life of Royal Viking Line itself was not long\, it became legendary. The ships themselves led diverse careers though ending with companies that lavished care upon them and thus earning them legions more loyal followers. They sailed for almost 50 years\, yet even at the end they seemed to remain timeless. This is their story. \nClive Harvey has a lifelong love of ocean liners. He is a former longtime editor of Sea Lines magazine and has written numerous ocean liner related articles and books\, including R.M.S. Queen Elizabeth\, The Ultimate Ship. Clive currently resides in the UK and is the owner of a boutique B&B. \n(Photo: Clive Harvey collection) \n
