‘Savage was commissioned by the Matson Navigation Company to paint nine 4 by 8 foot Hawaiian-themed murals in Hawaii. They were completed in 1940, but never installed in the company’s ships, which had been converted to troopships. In 1948, lithographs based on these murals were used as menu covers on Matson’s flagship, SS Lurline.10’
