Buried deep inside is a gorgeous fold-out cutaway of the GREAT NORTHERN. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003eThis line only lasted from 1915 to 1917. The main route was Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon. But during the winter of 1915-1916 the GREAT NORTHERN was switched to Hawaii service which is when this brochure was issued. The ship and her sister NORTHERN PACIFIC were then drafted for military duty in 1917 and the service was discontinued. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe sixteen-page brochure promotes the GREAT NORTHERN as \"The Floating Palace of the Pacific\".  Photos show the First Class Observation Parlor, Music Room, Writing Room, Smoking Room, Colonial Dining Room, a cabin en suite, a two-berth stateroom,  and Palm Garden Verandah. Tourist Class images include the Lounge, \"Smoker\", Dining Saloon, and a cabin. Plans show four decks. A color map show the Great Northern Railroad's track across the U.S. and the steamship routes to Hawaii and Portland, Oregon. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003eBut it is the cutaway that is the blockbuster. You should have seen my jaw drop when I unexpectedly unfolded this 32\" beauty.  Forty-five areas, from the Wheel House to the Triple Screw Propellers, are marked off.  And much to my continued delight, the unknown artist populated the ship with tiny figures. Elegantly dressed couples in Edwardian garb fill the First Class public rooms. Many decks down engineers are bending over the machinery. The galley is crowded with chefs in white coats and waiters carrying trays. Fully clothed women are washing over sinks in the Shower Baths while next door naked men are taking showers. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003eThe Navy took over the two ships for transport in the fall of 1917 and managed to wreck the NORTHERN PACIFIC in 1919. After the war, the GREAT NORTHERN went on to the Los Angeles Steamship Company to become their famed \"Galloping Ghost\", the H.F. ALEXANDER.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003eThe brochure is in fair condition with tape repairs and loose pages while, amazingly, the cutaway is in excellent condition and suitable for framing.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-09-28T17:36:23-04:00","created_at":"2025-09-28T17:36:20-04:00","vendor":"N","type":"- Brochures and Paper","tags":["- Artwork","- Brochures and Paper","-
