Steelite is still in business making quality dinnerware.
Originally built as the post-war replacement RMS "Empress of Britain" for the Canadian Pacific Line in 1955, the "Queen Anna Maria" held that name for the Greek line from 1964 - 1975.
Following that, she helped launch the Mega Cruise Line, Carnival, as their "Carnivale" from '75-93.
She's held other names since then, and lasted as late as 2009.
