IsraelS Posted November 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Greetings, this is my first post. I have searched but cannot locate information about the SS Israel. I am fairly certain that was the name of a boat that landed in New York after a 2 week journey from Haifa, Israel, on April 20, 1964, with a stopover in Madeira, Spain. I am not 100% certain of the boat's name, but the range of possibilities is small, and the date is certain. Is there any way I can obtain pertinent information, such as the correct name of the boat, the precise time it docked, and anything else available concerning it (perhaps even brochures?) Thank you.

Israel Perhaps it was the SS Shalom. See this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Shalom This has some interesting information: http://www.ssmaritime.com/ZIM-3.htm Here's something available on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/1965-Zim-Cruise-Line-SS-SHALOM-Ship-DECK-PLANS-Israel_W0QQitemZ200403013711QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20091109?IMSfp=TL091109202005r27174 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsulin Posted November 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Try posting on "Whatever Happened to" under Cruise Discussion topics. You'll probably get an answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsraelS Posted November 13, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Thank you. I have gotten more information that it was probably the SS Zion. I will post on the other message board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted November 15, 2009 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Here are pictures of her. News of her building and what she was built for. If you can't find her she is on page two of three pages. http://www.ssmaritime.com/ZIM-2.htm Here is another site from when she was built. http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=63954&view=print This site seems to be memorabilia? http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1950s-travel-poster-ss-israel-ss-zion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
