Atlantic Transport Line: London-New York Tourist Third Class

This vintage travel poster advertises the Atlantic Transport Line's "Unique in the Travel World" service, offering "Exclusively Tourist Third Class" monthly passages between London, Boulogne, and New York. The poster prominently features the S.S. Minnekahda, a 17,281-ton student ship, sailing through choppy seas. Below, iconic architecture from both sides of the Atlantic is depicted, with a grand university building on one side and a cityscape of skyscrapers on the other. Two gentlemen, one in academic attire and the other in travel wear, are shown shaking hands, symbolizing the journey. The advertisement highlights a "Round Trip" for £40, inviting passengers to "Spend your long vacation in America!". The artwork evokes a sense of adventure and affordable transatlantic travel during a bygone era.
