3-panel 2-sided full color brochure from the mid 1970's (possibly 1975) for the 31-day 10-port cruises on September 4th and November 6th from Honolulu to the South Pacific aboard the American flag Pacific Far East Line ship ss Mariposa.

The brochure includes a photo of the ship on the front, a few photos of shipboard activity on the back, a description of the cruise and itinerary, descriptions of ports of call, room rates, detailed room plan guide, and general passenger information.

Condition: The brochure is in overall very good condition. It has a 3/4" inch white mark on the front cover, and small dogear creases on the right corners (see photos).

Ship History: the 14,812 ton, 604 ft sister ships ss Mariposa and ss Monterey were built in 1952/53 as the cargo ships Pine Tree Mariner (Mariposa) and Free State Mariner (Monterey).  Matson Lines acquired the ships in 1956 and converted them to passenger cargo liners with a capacity of 365 passengers.  The ships were sold to Pacific Far East Lines in 1971 and sailed with PFEL until 1978 when they were laid up.

In 1983 the Mariposa was sold to China Ocean Shipping which renamed the ship Jin Jang (and later Queen of Jin Jang). In 1992 the ship was renamed Heng Li.  It was withdrawn from service and sold for scrap in 1996.
