From a collectors estate of FINE AMERICAN FOLK ART...SS Rex was an Italian ocean liner launched in 1931. She held the westbound Blue Riband between 1933 and 1935. Originally built for the
Navigazione Generale Italiana (NGI) as SS Guglielmo Marconi
, its state-ordered merger with the Lloyd Sabaudo line meant that the ship sailed for the newly created Italia Flotta Riunite (Italian Line).
