SS Lurline of the Matson Line 1942
A wartime advert.

SS President Wilson 1948
Advert for the American Presidents Line. The loss of the Japanese fleet during WW2 meant that this and the SS President Cleveland dominated the Pacific route. The superstructure was mainly aluminium. They were fast and luxurious, carrying 1st and tourist class. they were sold to the Far East in 1973 and scrapped the following year.

Santa Paula of the Grace Line, 1955
Christopher Deake’s authoritative book "A postcard history of the Passenger Liner" shows a card dated 1958 with this liner painted white, single mast behind bridge and 1 funnel. There is no mention of a refit or earlier ships of that name. My guess is a refit - if so, he goes on to give its end as a hotel in Kuwait bombed in the 1991 Gulf war.
