Hello,
I was looking to find info on the Chandris Line ship Ellinis which my family sailed back to the UK on at the end of 1965. We left a lovely hot Sydney to arrive back in Southampton mid-winter and my poor parents were so distraught at having made the biggest mistake of their lives, they flipped a coin and within 6 months we were on our way back to the warmth of South Africa.

Nice to see the stuff you have on the Ellinis - I and my siblings had the greatest adventure on that trip back from sydney via Panama and Curacao (Not New York) but crossing the North Atlantic in December was no fun in 1965......

Thanks Howard Evans, Stevenage UK

How wonderful to see pictures of the 'Grand Old Ladies' of the P&O fleet after so many years! My late father(Henry Ridgley)worked in the Mercantile Marine Office at Tilbury Docks from the mid 1950's until his retirement in 1979. Most of the liners were regular visitors to Tilbury during that period, and we as children or adolescents were often allowed on board whilst Dad was carrying out his business of supervising the paying off of the crew and stamping their discharge books. I have some wonderful memories of these great ships, it was a big thrill for a youngster to be able to visit the bridge and the engine room and to be made a fuss of by the officers and crew.

My favourites were the Arcadia, Orion and Himalaya. Lunch always seemed to be rather 'special' on these three! Excellent website Michael, thanks for reminding me about my Dad and the days of my youth.
