SS Lurline cabin table Built in 1933 for Matson Line’s US West Coast to Hawaii service, the Lurline was one of the most famous Pacific liners, transporting everyone from Ronald Reagan to Elvis Presley in high style. After serving as a troop ship World War II, she was refitted in 1948 with new post-war Hawaiian-themed decor. In 1963, she was sold to Chandris Lines and renamed Ellinis and finally retired in 1980 before being scrapped in 1986. Date: 1948
