Kunnen we deze matrozen niet veel beter Marva`s noemen?

In 1950 waren er nog geen vrouwelijke matrozen. De Marine Vrouwen Afdeling was een apart korps binnen de K.M. Zij werden Marva´s genoemd.

ja, marva's graag

Hi, long with my family I was on the Atlantis in October 1951 when I believe this photo was taken. We later boarded the over night express for Auckland. She was a lovely old ship and I attended the 40th anniversary of her reunion in Auckland and shot some video of the function. Great to see another picture of her. I have some good ones in my collection. Robert Taylor

Hello, Im trying to track my fathers travells to Wellington and i believe this is the ship he arrived on from the Port of Southampton. It departed on the 31st of March, 1950 and according to records it held a total of 887 passengers. Could this be the same ship? Jess

Mum and I arrived on the Atlantis in October 1951. Poor old Mum was heavily pregnant and had a miserable voyage. I was six years and had the time of my life! We travelled down to Christchurch on the overnight service on the TS Maori , where we met Dad who took us onto our new home at the Hydro village in Roxburgh, Central Otago. The rest is history!
