The china saucer was purchased sometime during a cruise by an unknown person. It is part of a cruise liner collection by D. Benson and Family over a period of years. D. Benson sold part of the collection to the V.M.C who purchased the remaining part. It is a great source of information to visitors to the V.M.C. At the time of ocean liner holiday cruising, many people purchased these souvenirs to keep or give away as gifts.China saucer with blue pattern on the edge, with Huddart Parker Line flag and emblemHuddart Parker Line flag and emblemsouvenir, cruise liners, huddart parker liner
