Album containing 39 mounted black and white photographs, the first nine 11 1/4 x 7 inches (or vice versa); the remaining 6 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches (or vice versa). Each photo is captioned in the lower margin of the print. In a padded leather album, titled in gilt on the front cover. The photos, presumably assembled in this album to commemorate a single voyage, show: profile view of the ship from port, the dining room, social hall, smoke room, writing room, gymnasium, promenade deck, swimming bath, Captain Custance, dancing deck, boat deck, Southampton docks, deep sea trawlers, playing cricket, Leith, thread the needle race, tennis, boxing. The final picture shows the "Arcadian" in a fjord in Norway. SS Arcadian was a Barrow-in-Furness built passenger liner constructed in 1899 by Vickers, Sons & Maxim Ltd for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company (originally named Ortona). She was renamed Arcadian in 1910, after the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company acquired her in 1906. She started her first world cruise in January 1912, the largest dedicated cruise ship in the world at that time. These photos document her use as a cruise ship, so must date from circa 1912. In World War I she served with the Royal Navy and was sunk by a U-boat in 1917. On 15 April 1917 Arcadian was en route from Thessaloniki (Salonika) to Alexandria with a company of 1,335 troops and crew and escorted by a Japanese Navy destroyer. Shortly after completing a boat drill, while 26 miles north east of the Greek island of Milos, Arcadian was hit by a single torpedo from the German submarine SM UC-74 and sank within six minutes with the loss of 279 lives. A contemporary newspaper article described how four of Arcadian's overcrowded lifeboats were successfully lowered before she sank. Some of the dead were cooks and stokers who were working below decks. The escorting destroyer had two torpedoes launched at her while she was attempting to rescue men from the water; survivors reported that she had lowered three of her own boats while going "at full speed". More survivors, who had been clinging to a raft, were rescued at midnight by the Q-ship HMS Redbreast. Among the dead was the eminent bacteriologist, Sir Marc Armand Ruffer, who was returning to Alexandria after advising on the control of an epidemic among troops based at Thessaloniki (Wikipedia). Some rubbing to binding. Photos with some age toning and occasional fading, but generally well preserved and crisp. …

Six original chromo cards; the ship itself and five different views of the luxurious interiors (music room; dining room; library; salon; and deck). Very good condition.Prinzessin Victoria Luise was the first purpose-built cruise ship. Launched on June 29, 1900, she was a German passenger ship of the Hamburg-America Line. With cruises targeted toward wealthy travelers, the Victoria Luise was designed to look more like a private yacht than any of her commercial counterparts. She had a trim hull 52.2 feet wide by 407.5 feet long. She was painted all white with two masts, one fore and aft, and two tall, slim funnels amidships. She had a rounded stern and a richly decorated clipper bow, with bowsprit, ending in a figurehead of the German princess. Onboard, she also did not look like other commercial vessels of the time. She contained 120 cabins, all first class. All staterooms were luxuriously appointed. Reportedly, Ballin instituted some interior modifications recommended by the Emperor. There was also a library, a gymnasium, and a darkroom for the development of film by amateur photographers. Pushing all this at a steady 15 knots (28 km/h) were quadruple expansion steam engines. After fitting out, the Kaiser formally inspected the vessel and was unhappy that it was slightly longer than the royal yacht Hohenzollern.Prinzessin Victoria Luise left on her maiden voyage on January 5, 1901. Almost five years after her debut, her illustrious career came to an end while on a West Indian cruise. On the night of December 16 the ship had tried to enter the harbor of Kingston but later her commander Captain Brunswig decided to anchor at Port Royal when he mistook the lighthouse at Plumb Point for that at the westernmost point of Port Royal. Heading north at 14 knots, the ship hit and climbed onto the rocks bow first at about 9:30 pm.[1] In an attempt to dislodge the ship, the engines where put full astern to no avail. The captain retreated to his cabin and shot himself. The passengers were rescued on the following morning.[1] A German Admiralty court found the captain negligent in May of the following year.The owner of this set of cards, a L. S. Ryman, took a cruise on the Prinzessin on March 8, 1906. On the card of the ship itself he has written on rear with a fountain pen - "On board this beautiful boat, L. S. Rymans and family went to the West Indies & back, a trip of three weeks. March 8, 1906. A most glorious trip" and on the front, below the image of the ship, he has written - "March 8th 1906. sailed for the West Indies. Jan. 1907 boast was lost and captain shot himself". He has also written "March 8th, 1906" on the blank right margin of the other five cards.…

TSS Transylvania (the prefix stands for 'Twin Screw Steamship') was built in Glasgow for the Anchor Line and launched in 1925. She had three funnels, but two were redundant, only serving to render the ship more attractive to prospective passengers. In 1940 she requisitioned by the Royal Navy, and the following year she was torpedoed by the Germans, sinking with the loss of 36 lives. The letter is 13pp, 12mo; with neat single-space typing, on thirteen leaves. It contains three line diagrams, and on a separate 12mo leaf is an ink drawing, with captions, titled 'As the Herrewich [sic] appeared when we last saw her'. Also present is a sepia postcard of 'T.S.S. TRANSYLVANIA'. The letter and diagram are in fair condition, aged and worn but with text clear and entire. The postcard is good, with light aging. Signed in type 'Alex.' With manuscript diagrams and salutation to 'Dear Mother and Father'. A well written missive (the use of catch-words implies a good education), beginning: 'It is surprising that now, more than five days after leaving Glasgow, we should be only about 1000 miles from home. The explanation is probably well known to you all: but although you will have had newspaper accounts of the great storm and of the wreck we stood by, I'm quite sure that some amplifications in the form of our personal experiences will be both welcome and of interest. In the first place let me hasten to assure you that none of us came to any harm. In the main, we are all well. Mary has not been able to be out of bed much so far, but, on the other hand, she has been free from sickness - which is a very remarkable thing considering our experiences.' After news of 'Anne' and 'Virginia' ('Mary' and 'Aunt Mima' are also referred to) he reports that they 'arrived at Moville about midnight on Monday and spent a great night in Lough Foyle. At 10.00 o'clock next morning the Londonderry tender came alongside and we took 350 passengers and their baggage on board - making the total passenger compliment about 1100. There are about 25 in the first class.' He finds the Transylvania 'a splendid ship for watching the sea from. The forward extension of B. deck in front of the bridge is very clear of truck, and there are no boats on it as there are on the others'. The account of the journey continues, followed by a seven-page account of the storm and rescue, beginning: 'In the evening of Tuesday it was apparent that the sea was rising higher and higher, as was the wind: and through the night it was obvious that something unusual in the way of weather was blowing up. / Now, I've thought previously that we have been in Atlantic storms before. Two years ago on the "Cameronia" was a bad time: and one day last year the "Caledonia" was thrown about considerably: but our [in pencil 'my'] farthest stretch of imagination - even my wildest fears - have never pictured anyting so [in pencil 'as'] tremendous as we awoke [in pencil 'the situation'] to on Wednesday morning.' He gives a vivid description of the ship 'riding out the storm magnificently', as he is caught by 'plants, flowerpots, chairs and so on': 'The second and third class passengers were locked in and battened down for about two days. The stern of the ship was almost completely under water, and the hatchways to the steward's quarters were stove in during the night and all the stewards woke up to find themselves invaded by a foot or two of water.' The storm subsides and she comes across the wreck of a 'large German tramp' he calls the 'Herrenwich', 'a poignant and pathetic spectacle; and more so was the view we had of the hapless crew clinging to what was left on the bare decks. We gradually got the story bit by bit, as it filtered through the bridge, where it was picked up, I suppose, by signals. A great wave had landed on the "Herrenwich", and had stove in the hatch of No. 3 hold, on the forward well deck. This hold was full of water, and the restraining bulkheads were bulging. The captain sent out his S. O. S. and immediately there - after another sea came on board and carried off bodily the bridge, the wireless, the wireless room and all the boats save one, which was stove in. The captain and a quartermaster were swept overboard with the bidge and were lost immediately.' He describes 'a masterly exposition, magnificently executed, of the tactics of sea rescue. It was obviously impossible to go right up to the ship, but sometimes we were not more than 100 yards away and communication by megaphone was possible. It was equally impossible, for us simply to take up a position on the nether side and so act as a breakwater. The manoeuvre which was carried out time after time, therefore, was to circle the wreck as quickly as possible and to drift past her on the weather side, and so give her a certain degree of intermittent protection. This meant that twice in every circuit the captain had to bring the "Transylvania" broadside on to the seas, and every time this happened there came the sickening sense of going over on our beam ends - as I believe, many less seaworthy and splendid ships would have done. And each time, of course, until everything was secured, anything movable was thrown about in the wildest way. Oil was poured on the water with each circuit, and the difference it made was wonderful.' The seven-page account of the storm and rescue ends with the information that 'the bridge is 62 feet from the waterline, and, when we were in the trough, 19 out of every 20 waves were seen to be on a level with, or higher than, the bridge'. It reflects: 'I've often told myself that I wanted to experience a real Atlantic storm. Now I have experienced it. I'd like it again, but never again would I like to take Mary and the children into it.' The letter finishes with two two-page updates, from 26 and 29 November, the last beginning with the information that the ship has 'passed Nantucket light ship and may therefore expect to reach quarantine to-night'.
