Description: Description (and please see photographs): Measures approx. 8-3/8" x 10-1/2". This was the last voyage of the liner as a liner, as it was on the way to NYC (from Nassau Bahamas) for refitting for war, as ordered by the UK government - war had been declared a few days earlier. There is a signature on the inside cover, but I can't make it out - it looks like "Hon. ? Jones". This may be a one-of-a kind piece of history.From Wikipedia: RMS Lancastria was a British ocean liner requisitioned by the UK Government during the Second World War. She was sunk on 17 June 1940 during Operation Aerial. Having received an emergency order to evacuate British nationals and troops from France, the ship was loaded well in excess of its capacity of 1,300 passengers. Modern estimates suggest that between 4,000 and 7,000 people died during the sinking — the largest single-ship loss of life in British maritime historyCondition: See box above.
