M.S. Stockholm Dinner Menu, 1955

Dated Tuesday, May 3, 1955. My mother, Christa Paul, was traveling from Gothenburg, Sweden, to New York, to study in Connecticut. There she would meet my father. They got married in Stockholm a little over a year later. Below is the menu's cover.  "SAL" is short for Svenska Amerika Linien (Swedish American Line). The dinner looks delicious. Of course, there is coffee. Click to enlarge either image.
