3. Deck Plans: Coverless multi-page stapled booklet. Undated, ca. 1930. Deck plans for the Malolo, which look as though they might have fallen out of a larger brochure.
4."Malolo" Third Around Pacific Cruise, September 19th to December 16th: Multi-page, color-cover, stapled booklet, dated 1931. Discusses ports, general information, rates of fare, itineraries, etc. for three-week cruise to Southern Pacific ports aboard SS Malolo. Many black and white photos of port activities and accommodations. It is prominently noted in the back cover of the booklet that all photos were taken by a Malolo staff photographer on the previous year's cruise. Unusually formatted for an advertisement from the 1930s, in that most were smaller, unstapled and did not feature color photos on their covers.Collection
