ORFORD & ORONTES - Two-sided cruise plan from 1934 United States Lines but the SANTA MERCEDES wentOrient Line: A fold out (24" by 28") cruise plan dated 1934 with the ORFORD on one side and the ORONTES on the other. The ships were the last two in a class of five ships. Seven decks are shown for both ships without class distinctions. Cruises from London and Southampton are shown along with rates in pounds. The ORFORD, like two of her sisters, was a victim of the WW2. ORONTES sailed on after troopship duties until scrapping in 1962. Very good
