RMS ORVIETO of Belfast, leaving Sydney for London

  • Sunglint Photography said:
    I have an original watercolour painting of RMS Orvieto that has been in the family a long time, and have taken an interest in her for years. Always keen to find more photos of her! They don't build ships like this any more.

    Sunglint Photography They certainly are classic vessels aren't they! ORVIETO is an impressive example, perfect subject for a painting :)

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes, I often look up old prices with it, and sometimes post a comment. You have to be a bit careful with which of the five values you use - I used the retail price index here, and thought the current worth rather low - like a modern airfare - until I remembered it was one way, not return as the airfare.
