[OCEAN LINERS -- SS CITY OF HONOLULU]. S SBiblio.com

S.S. City of Honolulu. . . a direct de luxe service Los Angeles - Honolulu over the Southern route. . . deck plans.

192859683San Francisco Los Angeles CA: Los Angeles Steamship Co. 730 South Broadway Matson Navigation Co. ca. 1928. Oblong elephant folio. 37.25 x 23 in. deck plans printed on recto w/ illustration of SS City of Los Angeles in profile at upper right corner deck plans & descriptive text to right corner faint age toning minor wear a couple minor closed tears at fold creases still VG copy from the library of Archibald Angus MacDonald 1892-1977 stepson of famed southern California oil man William F. Byrne as well as oil company and drilling equipment owner and manager of MacDonald & Burns Oil Producers. First edition of this exceedingly scarce original deck plan for the S.S. City of Honolulu which featured here a Boat Deck and A - D Decks with cabins staterooms and facilities all clearly demarcated. The S.S. City of Honolulu originally launched in 1900 for the German Far East Mail Routes as the SS Kiautschou later as the S.S. Princess Alice for the North German Lloyd Line until seized by the U.S. in the Philippines in World War I. Renamed the USS Princess Matoika she carried over 50000 US Troops of the AEF to and from France and following the War carried much of the American US Olympic team to Antwerp in 1920. She resumed passenger service in 1922 as the SS President Arthur sailed for the American Palestine Line becoming the first ocean liner to fly the Zionist flag as she sailed to Palestine from New York and also featured the first women ship’s officers. She sailed for the Los Angeles Steamship Co. for about 3 years after refurbishment until a fire in Honolulu Harbor in 1930 and scrapping in Japan in 1933. No copies in Worldcat Huntington Library does have similar deck plan supposedly for the 1922 S.S. City of Honolulu but theirs is mostly likely a later deck plan as their displacement is listed at 20000 tons and the original City of Honolulu was launched as the 10500 ton SS Friedrich der Grosse North German Lloyd liner August 1896 scrapped after fire in her Oct. 12 1922 LASS Co. maiden voyage.

[OCEAN TRAVEL GAME].Biblio.com

Jeu des Paquebots. Grandes lignes françaises de navigation des Messageries Maritimes et de la Cie Général Transatlantique.

18972210164Comprising two coloured map board 66 x 99 cm folding down to 32.5 x 49.5 cm one cloth hinge broken; 14 route cards; a barometer dial 19 x 19 cm with gilt metal spinning arrow some abrading from use; eight painted white metal playing pieces in the form of ships contained in the original small box one piece not original; 16pp booklet of instructions bound in original light green printed wrappers; all contained in the original box 35 x 52 x 5 cm; the hinged lid with a large coloured lithograph title label showing the 'Normandie' leaving port at full steam some minor abrasions but overall in good condition. Jue des Paquebots was something new to games when it was published in 1897 as each player moves their boats on large maps exactly replicating the routes taken by two major French shipping lines. The game includes two large folding boards designated 'Carte A' which illustrates the Atlantic shipping lines the other 'Carte B' with the shipping lines leaving Marseilles in the direction of the Black Sea the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Rather pointedly the instructions state that the two maps include only the French shipping lines of the Messageries Maritimes and the Cie Générale Transatlantique the United Kingdom then the leading maritime nation is neither shown on the maps nor mentioned. The players first decide which map they are going use and then select or bid one of the Itinerary cards 8 for map A and 6 for map B. The aim of each player is to complete the journey indicated by their itinerary and then make the return voyage; the first player to complete this double crossing wins. However the number of stopovers is not equal for each different itinerary in play. In order to equalise the chances of winning the players with the fewer ports of call have to repeat their journey a second or even a third time if necessary until the number of ports visited or passed by them in these different routes equates to the number of ports of the busiest route.The routes all follow those which the two major French shipping companies plied. These include final destinations at Yokohama Australia New Zealand Zanzibar Odessa Buenos Ayres New York and the Antilles. Each player places a ship playing piece at port at the beginning of their route. The first player now spins the Barometer Dial which has outer and inner instructions that allows them to advance out of port when their turn come around again the arrow is again spun and the player can read the inner line of instructions and so advance 1 2 or 3 ports along their route. However there are also stops on the Barometer Dial that include Damage - where you go back to the previous port and pay a token to the bank; Heavy Fog - where you are left stranded until the next round; Collision - this allows another turn of the dial but it the result is 50/50 chance of being sunk and thrown out of the game - you can pay for another ships so all is not lost; Call for Distress - also misses a turn; Shipwreck - something like collision although you can start out again with a new ship and no fine; Rescue - also causes the player to miss a turn; lastly and somewhat topical there is Quarantine - here the player misses a turn and also has a second spin of the arrow to determine if you can go into port or not.The lid of the box illustrates the Cie Général Transatlantique liner La Normandie that plied the North Atlantic to New York in the summer and the south Atlantic in the winter - the ship sports a US flag on the foremast and the makers initials on the aft mast. Built in 1886 it was the largest and fastest liner of the company and was originally named 'Ville de New York.' It was also lit by electricity and could carry 1000 passengers and became the model for several sister ships built to the same plan.The maker Charles Watilliaux succeeded the games manufacturer Coqueret in 1874 and for the next 35 years became a major publisher and manufacturer of board games and toys until their acquisition by Revenaz & Tabernat. His registered initials were 'W.X.' which is slightly modified for the flag on the box lid as C.W.X. Watilliaux, éditeur.
