Welcome back to all my regular customers who know me as CommodoreTVP. I have recently set up a separate Ebay account to focus on selling ocean liner and travel related items. You will get the same fast and reliable service as proven by my over 1450 positive feedback rating.WOW! A very rare look at pre-war Japanese ocean liners.Our supplier in Japan has advised that this book is now "out of print" so these will be the last brand new copies of this unique book that we can offer.For anyone interested in the 1930's Japanese passenger fleet, this book is a treasure chest!It seems that there is a series of Japanese books entitled Journey Back in Time and this one focuses on Japanese passenger ships. While the focus is on two ships, Argentina Maru of OSK Line and coastal liner Tachibana Maru of TKK Line, there are many smaller interior and exterior photos of other Japanese ships including NYK ships. There are complete fold out deck plans for the two featured ships plus a fold out cutaway diagram of Argentina/ Brasil Maru. There are many large interior shots of the two featured ships with the deck and room name in English. There is a priceless photo of the Japanese version of the King Neptune ceremony as Argentina Maru crosses the equator and another of a Sukiyaki party on board. There are sailing day photos, menus, and artist sketches.This read more
