This spectacular original vintage poster depicting Royal Mail Lines’ ship MS Andes
The second Andes was built in Belfast in 1937–39 and completed at the outbreak of the Second World War. In troop service, she broke three speed records for long-distance voyages.
Andes was converted back into a civilian liner in 1947. She entered civilian service in 1948 on RMSP's premier liner route between Southampton, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. She was converted to a cruise ship in 1959, and received a white hull.
Text on the poster: Royal Mail Lines South America Brazil Paraguay Argentina
