Arrived Melbourne in her Feb 1949.... as a pup... saw her a few times in Melb after that then Hamburg 1963 when she was a hotel ship ( flower festival?) just before she went to the breakers.

Went as passenger in her--Melbourne-Tilbury 1957. Suez Canal was closed so via Capetown. 12days Fremantle--Capetown--11 days Capetown-Las Palmas then 4 days to Tilbury. Very comfortable ship---lazy days--eating and drinking.
