1960s Costa FEDERICO C American Intro Brochure w/ Nino Zoncada Interior Pics For Sale

Costa Line: An interiors and destination brochure from the late 1960s introducing the American cruise market to the FEDERICO C. The ship was transitioning from South American line voyages to cruising.

The 9\" by 12\" brochure is printed in textured stock and has twelve pages promoting monthly Florida to Naples crossings. Famed Italian designer Nino Zoncada\'s sleek interiors shine throughout the brochure.

FEDERICO C was the pride of the Costa fleet and its first newbuild when introduced in 1957. Contrast her glowing introduction to her pathetic ending - in 2000, long out of the Costa fleet and badly maintained, she sank in stormy seas while sailing to the breakers. Her downtrodden crew was saved only by a dramatic helicopter rescue by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Very good condition.
