MS
Flaminia seen at sea in 1958
This page contains the story of four young
Austrian’s; the girls being: Gertraud (22), Hildegard, and
their respective husbands (to be?): Heinz (26) and Werner, who
had decided “to live in a country far away from home,
because we were young and were looking for adventure.” The
two couples met whilst on the Flaminia and became lifelong
friends to this day!

1: Is this Gertraud and Heinz or you Hildegard and Werner?
And this is in Trieste, right?
All migrants from around Austria had to come to
Salzburg in Austria on October 1 to a Military Camp, which was
the official meeting point Then that evening we departed Salzburg
by train for Trieste Italy arriving the next morning, the 2nd,.and
after clearing all the formalities on the wharf we boarded the
Flaminia that immediately gave us the impression of being a very
friendly ship as the crew was so nice to us all.

out on deck

and even take a nap

author’s private collection. In addition
there are some images that have been provided by Shipping
Companies and private photographers or collectors. Credit is
given to all contributors. However, there are some photographs
provided to me without details regarding the photographer/owner
concerned. I hereby invite if owners of these images would be so
kind to make them-selves known to me (my email address may be
found on www.ssmaritime.com
only), in order that due credit may be given. I know what it is
like, I have seen a multitude of my own photographs on other
sites, yet these individuals either refuse to provide credit or
remove them when asked, knowing full well that there is no legal
comeback when it comes to the net. However, let us show these
charlatans up and do the right thing at all times and give credit
where credit is due!
This
notice covers all pages, although, and I have done my best to
ensure that all photographs are duly credited and that this
notice is displaced on each page, that is, when a page is
updated!
