Retro Ad of the Week: Moore & McCormack Cruise Lines, 1962

Eat your heart out, Captain Stubing – this guy’s got a Master’s Degree. Not very sexy for a cruise line ad, but an interesting approach nonetheless. Does an MFA help you avoid icebergs?

 

FUN FACT: Victor Kelly, who met his wife aboard the Moore & McCormack-operated S.S. Argentina, is believed to be the first African American to achieve the post of Chief Baker on a larger ocean liner.  (Source: Moore-McCormack.com)
