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.

Strathmore was the third of the five Strath Sisters and after the three-funneled Strathnaver and Strathaird, with their turbo-electric engines, the single-funneled 'sisters' Strathmore, Stratheden, and Strathallan, reverted to the more traditional geared turbines, which had a lower capital cost. Launched on the 4th April 1935, P&O's directors proudly commissioned a lavish brochure to introduce their fine new passenger liner to the public.
