  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    54 Ford Customline There was an Orient Line vessel called SS ORIANA, however it was not the sister vessel of SS ORAMA, it was SS ORONSAY. If you're interested we have various items in the collection related to SS ORIANA that have been published on eMuseum.

    beachcomber australia You may be right beachcomber because it definitely isn't Circular Quay. Plus a quick search in Trove suggests that it was berthed at either wharf 7 or 8 when it came to Sydney.

    If it was the first visit as is likely, then she departed at noon on Saturday 10 January 1925, according to this - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16184088 . More details of the ship and sinking in 1940 -
    " ORAMA; Owned by the Orient Steam Navigation Co. and built in 1924 by Vickers; 19,840 tons; 632x75.2x32.9 ft.; 3,900 n.h.p.; 18 knots; turbine engines. The ocean liner Orama (Capt. F. G. Sherburne), was requisitioned as an auxiliary troop transport for the British Expeditionary Force to Norway in the spring of 1940. On 8th June 1940, aircraft carrier HMS Glorious, destroyers HMS Acasta and HMS Ardent, the tanker Oil Pioneer and the Orama were some 300 miles West of Narvik, just as the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper, escorted by lighter craft, were sweeping this area and completely overwhelmed the British, sinking all five ships. The Orama was sunk by gunfire from the Admiral Hipper and was also torpedoed. Nineteen men were killed and 280, including Capt. Sherburne, became prisoners. The Orama was not carrying troops at the time. "
