Amelia Earhart menu signed from the SS Malolo dated 22 March 1937, when it was stationed in Oahu for repairs. Earhart signs the back cover in pencil, ''Amelia Earhart'' just months before her attempted world flight and subsequent disappearance on 2 July 1937. Earhart was actually in Hawaii when she signed this menu after the first failed attempt for her around-the-world flight; after trying to lift-off in Honolulu on 20 March, her plane ground-looped, causing severe damage to the plane, and delaying the trip for several months. Menu from the SS Malolo features an illustration of Polynesian women on the front, with the date, dinner menu and wine list in the interior. Menu measures 8.75'' x 11.75'' folded. Light wear and soiling, overall in very good condition.
