United Fruit Co: A big fold-out deck plan brochure for voyages to Costa Rica during the winter of 1936-37. There are seven b&w interior photos showing off spacious cabins and public rooms, while not transatlantic luxurious, looked elegant for a combo ship. On one side are deck plans for the VERAGUA which was one of six sisters launched in the early 1930s just in time for the Depression to cut into passenger traffic. The accommodations look spacious with plenty of deck space. The VERAGUA survived WW2 and was converted into just a freighter in 1952. She was scrapped in 1964. On the flip side are plans for the sister ships TOLOA and ULUA. These ships were built as British transports in 1917 and converted into combo liners by UFC in 1920. Like the newer VERAGUA, they had spacious cabins (most with private baths) and large public rooms. Both ships served as store ships during the upcoming war and were scrapped right afterwards. The 17 and 19 day cruises advertised in this brochure harkens back to a day when ships docked at sleepy Caribbean ports where passengers could spend the day exploring. This brochure is in very good condition.
