FRANCONIA: 1923 - Around the World brochure w/ plans & photos 1936Cunard Line A fold out (16" by 27") brochure for the FRANCONIA's Around the World Cruise in 1936. Tucked into the brochure are destination map and photos, itinerary, rates, and plans of seven decks. Of course, you or I would have insisted upon one of two A Deck suites for 14,000 for two (about 300k today), but down on E Deck the immigrant cabins were eight across and selling for a mere 3500 for two (78k today). The ship departed New York on January 7
