This menu shows the closest view yet of the Prince George, as well as what I suspect is a highly stylized view of a glacier draining into the Inside Passage. The Prince George passed at least four glaciers on its way from Vancouver to Skagway, and the one that looks closest to this one is Sawyer — but even it doesn’t look much like this cover.

The back cover of this menu shows a painting of a Canadian National steam-powered passenger train passing Mount Robeson in the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately, there is no indication on any of these menus of the name of the artist who did the front and back cover illustrations. Although these are undoubtedly a consistent menu series, it is worth noting that the word “Alaska” on the front covers is in different typefaces and colors on each menu.
This menu is dated August 2, 1952. A steamship trip from Vancouver to Skagway took about three days, so this was a different sailing from the menu dated July 28. Perhaps it was the return trip. The menu offered oysters, Wrangell salmon, calf’s sweetbreads, Entricote Parisienne, baked ham, and an omelette.
