Summary
Alternative Name(s): Ship Menu
Dinner menu issued to passengers travelling on the Lloyd Triestino Line ship MV Australia on 20 November 1954. It was collected by Donald Dott during his travels between Australia and Europe in 1954-1956.
Many ships such as the MV Australia carried both tourists and immigrants, and documents such as dinner menus, luggage labels, and King Neptune certificates were provided to all passengers.
