Description

Rare, vintage collectible piece of the global travel/cruise industry.
This certificate is in near-perfect condition – and was printed by the legendary American Bank Note Company.  This is absolutely authentic, NOT a reproduction.  As many of you already know, paper stock and bond certificates have for the most part gone away in favor of electronic ‘book-entry’ ownership of securities.  Physical certificates have become very collectible, and an important part of Wall Street history.

Carnival

Carnival would adapt and evolve the green Canadian Pacific livery for their new logo, changing the colors to red,white and blue as seen today.

The success of the two ships led to the acquisition of their third ship in 1978, the
