Matson menu, 1975

Notes from the collector: Note both the Captain and the Chef get a mention. Note the old company has a new owner, The Pacific Far East Line virtually doing the same run. And this menu dates from October on its way from Nuku'alofa to Wellington. A new menu was printed every day by the two printers aboard. Passengers sat at assigned tables each evening for the entre voyage. So if you embarked at San Francisco and returned to San Francisco you had six weeks (42 days) with the same passengers doing the same. And you had the same waitress for the entire trip. That is usually. On one trip I was on a particular one didn't turn up for the evening meal and some passengers asked where she was. The new one said the other one jumped overboard during the night!
