Background Information:A look to the cruising past when Alcoa operated three passenger cargo liners to the West Indies. Modern ships - elegant yet casual service. Alcoa (formerly the Aluminum Company of America) developed its own shipping line to carry bauxite from its source in what is now Suriname and Guyana to aluminum mills in the United States and elsewhere.Following World War 2, in 1946 Alcoa Steamship Company acquired three unfinished Victory ship hulls. The ships were redesigned and finished with accommodations for 96 first class passengers. Alcoa hoped that by entering the passenger business, this would give the company an edge on any rival who might want to lure away some cargo, thereby reducing income per voyage.Ref: CruiseLineHistory And Check out our other items!
