It is absolutely amazing (and sad) to think that MARIANN 9 was another virtual museum when she went to the Alang breakers in 2001. Laid up for over a decade and with very sporadic use since her last sailing for Companhia Portuguesa de Transports Maritimos (the amalgamation of CNN, CCN, and Empresa Insulana) in the mid-1970s, she was chock full of original liner crockery and silver. These nice little gravy pourers do not feature the "N" or "Flag" logo of CNN but do have the blue pinstriping found on the "Flag" items. They are made by the same manufacturer, Vista Allegre of Portugal.
