Cruise Line History – INDEPENDENCE DAY aboard ship. Menus featuring “Russian Caviar” and “Kangoroo Tail Soup” on the High Seas from 1900 until 1938.

Anchor Line’s SS CITY OF ROME – July 4th Menu – 1900 – Russian Caviar

Liners and cruise-ships use to serve Caviar in first class – at least once or twice during each voyage.  That is a perk of the past.  Now the food is superior institutionalized cuisine on most ships.   Like a an okay banquet.  The caviar is gone and so is first class.

United States Lines SS MANHATTAN – July 4th Menu -1937 – Australian Kangaroo Tail Soup

Alaska Steamship Company’s SS ALEUTIAN – July 4th Menu – 1938 – More Russian Caviar
