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.

The CNN (Companhia Nacional de Navegacao) logo is on the underside of these pretty bowls. These are being sold "as is" and are in good condition with a few dings and some heavy tarnish from years of use and subsequent layup in Greece. So buy plenty of silver polish and get ready to make them shine again! Supplies are extremely limited and I will sell what I think are the ones in best condition first.
