She was just receiving her finishing touches here, and would be delivered to Matson Line two weeks later, taken to San Francisco, and depart on her maiden voyage to Honolulu and Sydney on 12 May 1932. An excellent photo!
If you can find a copy, ''The White Ships'' is very pricey, but a wonderful book. Another book with a lot of Matson Line history is Peter Plowman's ''Across the Pacific''--I highly recommend it.
