Untitled-T.S.S. Matiana

The picture shows the TSS Matiana (name clearly visible) and one other ship , possibly TSS Versova or TSS Vesava, at anchor in an unidentified Eastern port. The Matiana was launched in 1922, originally for the BISN and was finally scrapped in 1952.

The example illustrated has over 200 pieces, is cut in a 'ladder' style typical of CV, but is in a box which has nothing to do with the series. Original owner was Tom Tyler so may have been a 'special'.
