It was the golden age of Hawaiian tourism, when cruise lines ruled the South Seas. The crown jewel of Matson Navigation Company'¬?s white ship fleet, the S.S. Lurline, exemplified the best of luxury-liner travel to Hawaii. For four decades, this great lady of the seas embodied the spirit of aloha, carrying thousands of travelers to and from the islands in high style. Full of memorabilia, advertisements, souvenirs, photographs, and art, TO HONOLULU IN FIVE DAYS transports readers to this bygone era, granting a nostalgic glimpse of the luscious artwork, lavish cuisine, and glamorous pleasures of a truly memorable voyage. Includes dozens of vintage photographs depicting life and celebrities-such as Mickey Rooney, Clark Gable, George Burns, and Shirley Temple-aboard the Lurline.

This is more or less a coffee table book about the SS Lurline. It's got a lot of information and photographs, which is great for research purposes. It only portrays the ship and everything surrounding it in a positive light, so not exactly nuanced, but great for nostalgia and research.
