Canadian Pacific 1974 Breakfast Menu

In the 1970s, Canadian Pacific used this extremely boring menu cover. Only 5 inches wide but more than 11 inches tall, the menu had plenty of room on the inside, but unfortunately the offerings were as boring as the cover.

Muffins, toast, and jelly make up three more, fruit juice, prunes, and grapefruit are three more. That leaves cereal and three different meat-and/or-egg dishes. Hardly five-star service.

More Princess Marguerite Menus

Yesterday’s lunch menu pictured the Princess of Vancouver but was used on the Princess Marguerite. Today we have breakfast and dinner menus from the latter ship. The breakfast menu is the only one with a date, but they were from the same collection so I’m pretty sure they were from the same trip.

The breakfast menu is the simplest of the three, being just a card. Yet it offered as many entrées as the lunch menu. These are priced between US$1.90 and $2.50 or about $12 to $16 in today’s money. Continue reading

Princess of Vancouver Lunch Menu

Built in 1955, the Princess of Vancouver carried people, automobiles, trucks, and railcars to and from Vancouver Island. At various times in her history, she connected Comox with Powell River, Nanaimo with Vancouver, and Victoria with Seattle.

The ship could carry 28 40-foot railcars and up to 120 automobiles. The passenger decks had bright, cheery interiors, though I suspect that the photos shown by this link were taken after a 1973 refit as they have a distinctive 1970s feel. Continue reading

Princess of Nanaimo Cafe Menu

Launched in 1950 and entering service in 1951, the Princess of Nanaimo carried up to 1750 people and two decks of automobiles between downtown Vancouver and Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. A 1958 strike shut down Canadian Pacific’s ferry services for a time, leading the British Columbia government to introduce its own ferries in the early 1960s. CP then sent the ship to the East Coast where it served as the Princess of Acadia between St. John and Digby, Nova Scotia.

This menu was used aboard the ship (or some ship) for all meals and lists cereals, salads, sandwiches, desserts, and beverages. A photo of the dining room shows tables for four with white tablecloths and a long, Formica-covered lunch counter. Continue reading

Mural Lounge Menus

Canadian Pacific’s dome-observation cars were known as Park cars because they were all named after Canadian national or provincial parks. Each car was also decorated with murals depicting the named park by a Canadian artist, some of whose paintings appeared on various CP menus and advertising.

The covers of these two beverage menus from the Chung collection depict two of the murals. I’m not sure which parks are depicted, but the the above menu from 1959 may show Laurentide National Park while the menu below from 1962 shows Kootenay National Park. As far as I can tell, these are the only two murals reprinted on Mural Lounge menus. Continue reading

Chateau Lake Louise 1962 Lunch Menus

These two menus came together; one is a la carte and the other is table d’hôte. The table d’hôte menu is the only one that is dated, but that’s typical, as table d’hôte menus were likely to change frequently while a la carte menus would stay the same all season long.

The a la carte menu, which was probably offered to both lunch and dinner patrons, is the only Canadian Pacific menu I’ve seen that has color photos on both the front and back covers. The back cover photo is the same Chateau in the Sky photo we saw on a 1954 menu. The menu lists nearly 200 different items, with more than 25 hot and cold entrées ranging from veal and ham pie to Chateaubriand. Multiply prices by 6.5 to get today’s U.S. dollars. Continue reading

Mountaineer Menus for 1958

The painting on the cover of today’s first menu shows the Empress of England, which CP introduced into service in 1957. The ship is almost identical to the Empress of Britain, which entered service a year before and which is the other ship in the picture. One visible difference between them is the window pattern beneath the bridge: the Empress of Britain was 2-2-2 while the Empress of England was 2-1-2.

The artist isn’t identified, but it was probably Chesley Bonestell, who painted the Empress of Britain in roughly the same location for Canadian Pacific when that ship was introduced. He must have completed this painting before the Empress of England entered service as it incorrectly shows a 2-2-2 window pattern. Bonestell no doubt assumed that it would have the same pattern as its sister ship. Continue reading

Robert Burns Dinner Menu

This menu was used on the same voyage of the Empress of England, in fact on the same day, as yesterday’s menu. Unlike yesterday’s menu, it is unlikely that a menu like this was ever used in a Canadian Pacific dining car. But to get yesterday’s menu, I had to acquire this one as well, so now we see that Canadian Pacific used smaller, dining-car-sized menus for lunch on the Empresses but larger — 8-1/4″ by 10-1/2″ — menus for dinner.

Life on an oceanliner could be pretty boring except at mealtime, so the menu stretches out dinner by offering numerous courses. First was an hors d’oeuvres such as a fruit cup, smoked salmon, or eggs Norvegienne. This was followed by a soup such as petite marmite or clam broth. Then came a fish course of either fillet of sole or fried smelts. Continue reading

Banff Springs Hotel 1957 Lunch Menu

In the summer of 1957, Canadian Pacific had four Empresses, named for Britain, England, France, and Scotland, sailing between Montreal and Liverpool, allowing for as many as six departures a month. Each voyage took seven days, and at least three days separated them to allow for cleaning and revictualing the the ships. Dated June 14, 1957, this menu was used on the Empress of England, which was then CP’s newest oceanliner. That ship had departed Montreal on June 11 and was due to arrive in Liverpool on June 17.

Although used on a steamship, this menu is of the standard size for many Canadian Pacific dining car menus of the 1930s through 1950s: 6-3/4″ by 9-3/4″. Like this one, many menus of this size in the mid-1950s had portrait photos on the cover surrounded by a broad white border, so it is likely that this cover was sometimes used on dining car menus as well.

Chateau Frontenac Empress of France Menu

This menu was used on the Empress of France on September 14, 1957. We’ve previously seen a menu like this that was used on the Empress of France on August 12, 1956. It made sense to advertise the Chateau Frontenac on the Empress as Quebec City was the final port of call on westbound voyages in the summer.
