Incres Line: Talk about a transformation! This fold-out ( 25\" by 31\") brochure from 1960 shows the swinging NASSAU, once the staid P&O liner MONGOLIA of 1924.
The plan shows seven decks with color-coding. On Promenade Deck the staterooms look large and modern with private facilities. But down on A Deck that old warren of tightly packed immigrant cabins remains.
The many large color interior photos best show the transformation. The views include the Dining Room, Night Owl Club, Continental Room, Bamboo Room, Lido Bar, Lounge, two large cabins, and the twin pools on the extensive Lido Deck. The decor is bright and Caribbean-themed. The only hint of the past is the carved wood paneling in the Lounge, although the room is brightened up by purple and green upholstery.
The NASSAU was a victim of its own success. She proved so popular when introduced to the New York cruise market in 1951 that competitors quickly followed. By 1960 the competition was heating up and Incres was introducing the ship\'s replacement, VICTORIA. In 1961 the NASSAU was sold to a Mexican start-up cruise line, but quickly proved to be too old and costly. She was scrapped in 1965.
Good condition with light wear.
