It is absolutely amazing (and sad) to think that MARIANN 9 was another virtual museum when she went to the Alang breakers in 2001. Laid up for over a decade and with very sporadic use since her last sailing for Companhia Portuguesa de Transports Maritimos (the amalgamation of CNN, CCN, and Empresa Insulana) in the mid-1970s, she was chock full of original liner crockery and silver. These large glass bowls are quite remarkable for having survived so many years of hard use. There is an etched CNN flag logo on their upper rim and they were made by Duralex (France). On most, some tiny scratches and wear are present, but not distractingly so.
