LEONARDO da VINCI: 1960<br>10 decks of LEO
Italian Line: The graceful LEONARDO DA VINCI with its flared funnel was the zenith of Italian Line design that began a decade earlier with the GIULIO CESARE of 1951. In this large (25" by 27") fold-out deck plan from the late 1960s, all three classes are shown with color-coding and photos. Views from First Class show the Ballroom, Children's Playroom, Theatre, Dining Room, and Pool Verandah. Cabin Class pics include the Dining Room, Pool Verandah, and Ballroom. Tourist Class photos cover the Dining Room, Ballroom, and Children's Playroom. Ten decks are shown, from the outdoor sports area on Belvedere Deck down to the cramped confines of C Deck where cheapie cabins were jammed in seven abreast. A starboard profile photo shows the ship in the all-white livery she gained in 1965. The LEONARDO DA VINCI was the last sailing Italian Line ship. Perhaps she could have been used again for cruising in the resurgent market of the 1980s, but while at lay-up in 1980 a fire ravaged her for four days. In the end the graceful LEO was just a burnt out hulk. Unlike the ship, the plan is in very good condition.
