Although the author has worked and been involved in the passenger shipping industry for well over 60 years, but due to his old age and poor health, he was forced to retire. Yet, he has completed well over 1,550 Classic Liners, Passenger-Cargo Liners as well as humble converted C3 converted Migrant Liners, which has transported countless thousands of folk to the new world, as well on vacations’. Amazingly, ssmaritime.com has received well over 573.4 million visitors to date I trust the features online will continue to provide Classic Liner and Ship enthusiasts both the information they are seeking, but more so provide a great deal of pleasure and relive many happy memories!

Deck Plans:
The Deck Plans shown are as follows; the first two are a First and Tourist Class Plans issued after her 1959 refit having been fully air-conditioned for both her line and cruise services, and the next one is from 1970, when she had her main-mast (aft mast) removed and her foremast shortened by 18 ft - 5.5m to clear the low cables in Alaskan harbours as she was about to commence her new cruise duties on a more fulltime basis on the west coast of the United States. Also on the cruise plan it is shown as a “One Class” Deck Plan, but her First and Tourist Classes are still clearly defined.
