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.

Majestic-TerzaClasse-WATERMARK
Majestic’s third class lounge, third class dining saloon, and third class smoking room all appeared in their full glory in the brochure’s gorgeous colour centrepiece. Although tightening immigration restrictions had limited the number of third class passengers gaining entry into the United States even before Majestic entered service in 1922, she still carried several thousand every year.
