This painting by Croatian refugee Gina Sinozich shows the dining room of the passenger liner SS NEPTUNIA. In 1956 the artist fled her homeland with her husband Eugen and their two children Vladimiro and Eugenia. Incredibly, as assisted migrants, the artist and her family were able to sample some of the luxuries of liner travel including daily three course meals and wine served by elegant waiters.
