Here is a special one for my friend Henry Casciaro!
The famous Atlantic that became equally famous as a moving University!
She was a cruises ship, but also for a short time a transatlantic liner, as shown in the June 21, 1960 Greek ad that is presented below!

Now, I would not be surprised if Henry has some good brochures of her!
