Blue Funel Line Flyer in English and Chinese Sailing Schedule Translation: Page 1: * Our company has 3 oceanliners, "Tantalus", "Ixion", and "Talthybius". * All ships are very sturdy and steady; even there are gales and huge waves, they still sail smoothly passing through Hokohama, Kobe, Shanghai, then arrive at Hong Kong. *Room in the second class could accommodate 2, 4 or 6 people in each room, they are all located at the middle of upper level. Those rooms have nice air circulation, plenty light, and equipped with heaters. Foods are all delicious Chinese cuisine. * Rooms in the 3rd class are all located at upper level, spacious, air and light are adequate, also have heaters, floors are made of wood, beds are newly made using metals. Very clean and comfortable. Passengers may take a walk any where they want to breathe the fresh air. (Note: in 1930s, Chinese were not allowed to take the first class rooms. Those are British lines. Liang) * All ships have certified doctors to take care of patients with no extra charge. *All ships provide delicious foods made by experienced cooks. Menus are different from day to day. * All passengers should get on board at Vancouver. Before boarding, passengers, once arrived at Vancouver, please give the lug gages with tags and the temporary tickets to our agents so that the agents could transport the lugages to respect rooms, and exchange for the official tickets. * The recent improvements are the addition of first class meals and all plates and bowls have been changed to china (I think in the earlier days, those plates & bowls are made of metals with enamel paintings) Local Agent ______________________________ _______________________________ Page 2: Blue Funnel LIne Republic of China year 26 (1937), sailing dates of the first schedule between Seattle, Vancouver, and Hong Kong.
