Name: Marc Jones CommentsI was only 10 when we left Southampton in 1973 for a new life in New Zealand, but the £500 it cost my parents for my part of the fare could not have been spent any better. I have fantastic memories of roaming around this fantastic ship with my brother and cousins without the over protective restraints modern day parents place on their children today. What I would give to go back in time and do it all again !! Name: Zohra Rizvi CommentsI travelled with my family from Bombay to Southampton in 1952. My 4 sisters and I were very young and wildly excited seafarers. My twin sister became seriously ill with acute appendicitis and the ship had to make an unscheduled stop at Marseilles to get medical supplies - there was only aspirin on board! I have very vivid memories of the ship and was completely overawed by its size when I saw it from the dockside at Tilbury. Name: Daniel Phelan CommentsI arrived in Australia on the 1st March 1958 at Outer Harbour South Australia aged 15 years with my Mum Dad sister Kathleen 13 and brother Stephen aged 8 and when we saw the tin sheds wondered what we were coming to.
Name: Margaret Bradley CommentsThis is a fabulous site! My mother, brother and I were on board the Corfu heading for Hong Kong in 1956 during the Suez crisis so we went around the Cape of Africa. 6 wonderful, wonderful weeks. We lost the ship's cat in the Bay of Biscay and even though we got another cat the voyage was called "jinxed" in the newspapers because of all the things that happened during the voyage. Anyone remember anything at all? Thanks to everyone. |
