- Summary:
- Dinner Menu from the P&O Line Ship SS Stratheden for the 7 August 1963. It was collected by James Mason when he migrated to Australia with his wife and two children as 'ten pound tourists' in 1963. During the voyage James avidly collected the menus and approached the steward to obtain extras but he was unable to collect a full set. On arrival in Australia they stayed with James' brother-in-law and then purchased land in Altona almost immediately, where they have lived ever since.

| Inscriptions: | Reverse, printed: The Fancy Dress Dance/This, perhaps cannot be strictly defined as a deck game, but it does demand some skill and it is great fun. The/evening is full of surprises. That lady opposite at lunch-/time suddenly becomes an enchanting girl from Spain, the/rather forbidding man on your left appears as a jovial/Roman Emperor and the quiet little person with whom/you play Bridge bounds on the floor as Harlequin. The/rules are few. Take your place in the parade or vote for/the one you fancy./This is one of a series of six menus designed for P & O-Orient/Lines by Dorritt Dekk./Printed in England at The Baynard Press. |
