Peter, thanks for your understanding.
Denis, I don't understand your comment?

YouŽre right, Clive. Sorry, i didŽnt remember "Art Deco" instead of "Art Nouveau". Has been corrected.
Thanks for your hint.
regards Peter

Priceless!

This strikingly designed vessel was not in the Art Nouveau style. That was a design style of the late 1800s and early 1900s. It would be more accurate to describe this vessel as being in the Art Moderne style, which was a development and refined version of Art Deco.

Good evening!
The Aquarama began operation in 1956 by touring various Great Lakes ports. Pls compare with "BADGER":http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1588502
