    My grandfather (Irving Wambough) was on the maiden voyage FROM New York June 5th 1936. I have several photos and cruiseline info., such as, intineraries, daily menus, guest list etc. How can I find if someone would be interested in aquiring any of these items?

    Thanks for any help,
    Scott
