It was the golden age of Hawaiian tourism, when cruise lines ruled the South Seas. The crown jewel of Matson Navigation Company'¬?s white ship fleet, the S.S. Lurline, exemplified the best of luxury-liner travel to Hawaii. For four decades, this great lady of the seas embodied the spirit of aloha, carrying thousands of travelers to and from the islands in high style. Full of memorabilia, advertisements, souvenirs, photographs, and art, TO HONOLULU IN FIVE DAYS transports readers to this bygone era, granting a nostalgic glimpse of the luscious artwork, lavish cuisine, and glamorous pleasures of a truly memorable voyage. Includes dozens of vintage photographs depicting life and celebrities-such as Mickey Rooney, Clark Gable, George Burns, and Shirley Temple-aboard the Lurline.

Fascinating and one of the only definative accounts of a wonderful and now bygone experience in ocean travel in the Pacific. A must for anyone with an interest in Matson Navigation or oceanic travel during that period.
