Midships: The most desirable portion of the ship, where (due to the center of gravity) there was the least amount of movement on long sea voyages. Most liners had their first class accommodation placed here.
Mid-Century: A term used to describe the modernist stylings of the post war world, when mankind looked toward future advancement and innovation.

Apologies for not much activity here but the holidays and an unbelievable travel schedule over the past few months has shelved my efforts to get a batch of new items posted. Please come back in a day or two for some Cantieri Ruiniti builer's plans from EUGENIO C, hooks and other cabin fixtures from MONTEREY and some as of yet unposted chairs and other goodies. In the meantime, Happy New Year and wishes for a safe and prosperous 2009.
Many things are now sold out (some of which I have not yet had a chance to list as such) but a whole selection of doors and light fixtures from ANASTASIS, IVERNIA and MONTEREY as well as eight types of crockery/tableware from various ships such as MONTEREY, QUEEN CONSTANTINA, STELLA SOLARIS, STELLA OCEANIS and ODESSA are still available. I also put up some sleek Korbing glass fiber chairs, a magnificent 1953 Italian light fixture from ANASTASIS/VICTORIA and, in trying to free up space for the next container, I've put some great things on sale. Please have a look under What's New".
L.A. Modernism/Off The Wall Antiques' Dennis Boses and his wife Lisa have painstakingly restored a remarkable Luzzati ceramic ensemble from STELLA SOLARIS. For more information, please contact Off The Wall Antiques (310-930-1185).
There is a new blog menu in the index to the left with links to all of my recent Sea Treks blogs, including the latest Bremerhaven to Norway cruise on the magnificently MidCentury MAXIM GORKIY of 1969.
