17 February Dinner Menu

This is another page of a series of Caronia meal menu transcripts. It is for the Lincoln's Birthday Dinner of 12 February 1962 on the South Pacific Cruise.


12 Feb Dinner

This is one of the annual use menus and probably the second to last time that it was used on board Caronia. The death of President Kennedy also meant the discontinuation of these president's birthday series of menus. One other difference is that the evening speciality is described in full.

Lincoln's Birthday

“A bronzed lank man! His suit of ancient black,
A famous high top hat and plain worn shawl;
Make him the quaint, great figure that men love,
The prairie-lawyer, master of us all.”
