SS Kenya Castle / SS Amerikanis Liner Brass Relief
When SS Amerikanis, formerly the SS Kenya Castle, went to the ship-breakers 12 years ago we managed to acquire a significant proportion of her stunning interiors and within a few of years we had nigh on sold everything that we had salvaged to our crowd of Ocean Liner fans. These days, in the middle of a keen appreciation of mid-century design & style, we all sorely miss those time-less fittings and fixtures, and often remark how I would give all the money back to have all that stock back again
So it was with a move of a deep stack of stillages, during an exploratory dig into the shed, that I sighed with delight when we discovered a lovely quantity of these little gems
The SS Amerikanis, formerly the SS Kenya castle was one of the first ships that I pursued due to the fact that She was built by no less than Harland & Wolff. What started as a search for steam whistles and wheelhouse artefacts became our first exercise in rescuing incredible interiors
