    Monkey went nuts with 'Caronia' photos; 15 at least - catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=caronia+morgan&am...
    It looks like the ship is anchored there. And Monkey swung by several times as the white yacht moves around. And something is going on with the lifeboats ...

    The Caronia called at Dun Laoghaire in early June according to the Belfast News-letter, though it just mentions that the cruise ship had called at an unspecified "Southen port" and Kingstown, and naturally concentrates on the civic receptions for the tourists in Bangor and Belfast. From Bangor the cruise was to continue to Norway. (Belfast News-Letter - Saturday 05 June 1954)

    Pity it is in black and white - evidently the 'Caronia' was painted in different shades of green! Details - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Caronia

    She arrived on Tuesday 13 February 1951 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/18199214 . Not sure where she berthed - it looks like Garden Island in the right background, so maybe the finger wharf at Wooloomooloo?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Yes, definitely Woolloomooloo - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/18198935 . Apart from the lime-green colour she had the "largest funnel ever built for a passenger ship".
