Majestic: Vedute in Terza Classe

MAJESTIC: VEDUTE IN TERZA CLASSE

The White Star Line produced a number of brochures which advertised third class travel onboard Majestic. Although such promotional material was ordinary enough, this much rarer brochure was marked out as something different: for it was entirely in Italian, and aimed at attracting Italians to fill the ship’s extensive third class accommodation.

‘Vapore Majestic Paragonato Alla Famosa Torre Di Pisa.’ Translation (inexact): Steamer Majestic Compared with Famous Tower of Pisa.
-- The White Star Line were proud of Majestic as the largest liner in the world. The usual comparison of the ship with a famous building became rather different, when this Italian brochure used five copies of the leaning tower of Pisa. (Author's collection.)
