Part Three ~ Brochures

I am delighted to present one of the most delightful brochures produced by Royal Rotterdam Lloyd (RRL) in 1948, which reveals much of the Willem Ruys’ including her interiors and decks covering her three classes as originally built! This brochure is part of my personal collection and is just one of well over a thousand brochures in my collection.

Then directly below it you will see a very special production from 1960, being a unique and a delightful “concertina” style brochure produced by RRL, which contains manys photographs of real passengers (not models) enjoying their voyage between Rotterdam, Southampton and Australia and New Zealand, and return to the Southampton and Rotterdam as well the ships many facilities. It also has detailed maps of the Suez and the Panama Canals, including photographs of the many ports of call.

I trust that you will enjoy this very special page!
