MARIANN 9 took it all with her 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 furnishings. I purchased ten of these ottomans and now wish I got more as they all went shortly after my first container arrived in 2001. I found this spare one buried in my storage space just recently, so am offering it up for sale. It has an unusual feature in the one leg with the rubber "boot". At some point in the ship's career, this leg seems to have been taken from another ottoman to replace perhaps a damaged leg. It is seamlessly attached, but is a slightly "blonder color", and, of course, sports the "boot".
