TY Clive, as it was a black and white photo I guess thats why it looks more enhanced, or more appealing. I have photo's of her in her original livery and they looked real nice. I used to see her company siblings in Sydney on a regular basis. we always admired them during those times as very stately vessels, we always referred to the Matson ships as interesting talking points around the mess rooms. TY mate.

Gordy, Just a small point here; the hull of Malolo was in fact painted dark brown (I understand that Matson referred to it as being 'seal brown') and that is the colour that she would have in this photograph. Obviously it is natural to assume that it was black. I don't know why Matson did not paint their other ships in this livery as it was certainly most distinctive and must have looked very smart.

Ty guys, I love the old black style hulls and white accom. also. I served on ships with red ochre color hulls combined with buff superstructure (BHP and ANL co.) and they looked so drab. They were colored that way for the Australian iron ore trade, they also carried coal and coke on the about voyages. Eventually the companies changed their color schemes to black and while and immediately they looked so much more appealing.

The old dark hull and white superstructure combo really makes any passenger vessel stand out. The return to it has certainly benefited FUNCHAL and AZORES, and it certainly helps the ships of Disney and HAL stand out from the rest of the modern pack.
Great picture.
Kind Regards, Kyle
