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.

Christie's Ocean Liner Auction -- June 25, 2008 at Rockefeller Center
Christie's latest catalogue for its Ocean Liner 2008 auction is out. Included this year are five lots from MidShipCentury:Emanuele Luzzati's "Bacchanalia" panel from STELLA SOLARIS.Curiously, the auction information says nothing about the artist, a celebrated multi-media talent who passed away last year.
Enrico Paulucci's Abstract panel from EUGENIO C.Curiously, the auction information says it is a pair of panels (it is just one panel in two sections) but at least some information about the artist is provided.
Two etched and painted steel dining room panels by Sinisca from EUGENIO C.
Two painted steel dining room panels by Colacino from EUGENIO C.
Four refurbished Thonet for Pulitzer chairs from Incres Line's MV VICTORIA of 1959.
Note: none of the items come up in the search index even though they all fit various categories listed, such as Italian, Furniture, Paintings, MidCentury, 1960s, etc.
From the usual blissful MidShipCentury timewarp --
