    She was on her second visit, and cost £1,415,567 [!]. Details of the MONGOLIA (1923) P&O - www.poheritage.com/Content/Mimsy/Media/factsheet/93816MON...

    On her maiden voyage in July 1923, she was pinned against the same wharf (where the Opera House now is) by gale force westerly winds, not being able to depart for four hours. Read All About It - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16080993 .

    beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber :) we posted this pic in response to a comment on an earlier pic of a vessel that was suggested to be MONGOLIA
  • Phillip said:
    It's interesting that the ships operating the branch line of the P&O service were painted with dark upperworks - they must have been hot ships in the summer! Cheers, Phill
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Phillip At the time it seems that all P&O liners had this dark paintwork. Can't find any website which explains it. Can anyone help, please?

  • Wayne Hill said:
    What an incredible story, about the shipping produced. The demand for wartime output, but also the tonnage of merchant shipping. A proud history definitely! thanks for sharing it.
