Vintage 1930s YEOWARD LINE Cruise Booklet
“Shore Excursions & General Passenger Information” – Liverpool to Lisbon, Morocco, Madeira & Canary Islands
Offered here is a
charming original Yeoward Line passenger booklet
issued to guests sailing from Liverpool to the sun-kissed coasts of Portugal, North Africa and the Atlantic islands. Printed on quality stock with a striking
mid-blue cover featuring a sepia photo of a castellated palace framed by a stone arch
, the booklet was designed to be slipped into a pocket or handbag for quick reference ashore.
Inside you’ll find:
Pre-voyage notes
on climate, currency & practicalities for Lisbon, Morocco, Madeira and the Canaries.
A clear
route map
of Western Europe & North Africa (Bay of Biscay down to the Cape Verde latitude).
Over 20 captioned photographs
including Lisbon’s Praça do Comércio, Moorish Cintra, Grand Canary mountain roads, Orotava & Teide, Casablanca’s port and scenes on the road to Marrakesh.
Detailed shore-excursion programmes
with period prices (e.g., “Casablanca Motor Tour… approx. 10/6 including luncheon”) plus advice on tipping, baggage, passports and health formalities.
Passenger regulations, baggage allowances and fascinating glimpses into 1930s cruise culture.
A superb primary-source reference for maritime historians, travel-ephemera collectors or anyone decorating with genuine Art-Deco-era graphics.
