Matson was the primary transport for tourists to visit Hawaii before air travel. The pictures are so clear and colorful that I feel like I'm a passenger on that journey 61 years ago. I believe Matson also owned The Royal Hawaiian and Mona hotels, the only big ones on Waikiki Beach at the time. That must be why the Royal Hawaiian has displayed the original art works from the Matson collection.
