Description

This is a large and clean vintage poster of Italian cruise liner the SS Michelangelo at the busy Italian Line pier in New York with West Side Highway traffic in the foreground.

Registered in Genoa, Italy the SS Michelangelo was launched in November 1962 but not completed until April 1965 with her Maiden Voyage being in May 1965.

She was removed from service in July 1975 and sold to Iran in 1977 ultimately being scrapped in 1991.

She could carry 1775 passengers with a crew of 720 and had a sister ship – the SS Raffaello.

This is an original vintage poster that has been kept rolled up so has the natural curve that rolled up paper has – It is clean though is perhaps showing slight ageing as a paper product of this age does – the edges show slight wear – This poster is in good condition but is not mint it was printed probably in the 1960’s.
