ASIA: 1953 - Tissue deck plan from 1966 - Deck Plans these ships were not wellLloyd Triestino: A fold out (14" by 20") tissue deck plan dated 1966 for the ASIA, one of four sister ships built in the early 1950s. ASIA and VICTORIA sailed the Genoa Hong Kong route while AFRICA and EUROPA sailed to South Africa. This plan shows seven decks, covering both First and Tourist classes. After being laid up in 1975, ASIA suffered the indignity of being rebuilt as a livestock transport. Excellent condition.
