A collection of vintage postcards and travel-related ephemera primarily focused on mid-20th-century transportation themes. The maritime segment includes depictions of significant ocean liners and historic vessels such as the Queen Elizabeth, the Mauretania in New York Harbor (published by Pach NY), the Commodore Cruise Line ship SS Boheme (titled The Happy Ship), the whaleback steamer Christopher Columbus, and the U.S. Battleship Virginia. Regional interest cards featuring watercraft include the steamer Sagamo, paddle steamers on Chautauqua Lake, NY, and sponge boats in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The aviation component features several cards depicting United Air Lines aircraft in flight and on airport tarmacs with vintage propeller planes. This section also includes a fragment of a United Air Lines in-flight menu detailing dessert and beverage options. Space exploration is represented by a postcard of the Apollo lunar module on the moon's surface. Additional scenic subjects include La Crosse Harbor on the Mississippi River in Wisconsin. The collection encompasses various postcard eras including white border, linen, and chrome styles. Notable transcriptions include PACH N.Y. on the Mauretania card and title 83. PASSING AND REPASSING ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY, CHAUTAUQUA LAKE, N.Y. on the lake steamer card. Dimensions vary, generally 3.5 x 5.5 inches.
