SOHO Offers Prints To Save S/S Catalina

The Save Our Heritage Organization, the group working to save and preserve the S/S Catalina is offering prints of this great vessel to SSHSA members.

The original painting of the Catalina, sailing from Avalon in 1924, was painted by internationally renown artist Ken Marschall in 1999. The painting will be featured on the rear cover of the fall 1999 issue of Steamboat Bill, which will also include an article about this historic vessel. All proceeds from the sale of the prints will be used to help raise the Catalina and return her to California.

The prints, which measure 18'' X 25'' are offered at the following prices:

Limited edition art print on archival paper, numbered and signed by the artist Ken Marschall and the Catalina's chief engineer, Charles Beal, accompanied by a brief biography of each signer- $150.00

Limited edition art print on archival paper, numbered and signed by the artist- $95.00

Unlimited edition art print on archival paper, unnumbered and unsigned- $30.00

Orders can be mailed, with a check enclosed, to: SOHO
P.O. Box 3429
San Diego, CA, 92163-9327

Shipping and handling are included with each price. SSHSA member, and Southern California Chapter Chairman, Shawn Dake has been designated to be the official representative of SSHSA to the board of SOHO. The board of directors urges all members to support this worthwhile project, as time is running short to save the S/S Catalina.
