This
page has been created especially for passengers on the RMS Orion
to add thei/r photographs. The first photographs received
are from a Swiss passenger, Ben Zuber.
Ben
was one of eight Swiss men immigrating to New Zealand in 1961. He
became great friends of fellow passengers, Kurt, Menk, Brian and
Beryl. Ben dined at the first sitting and unbeknown to him, a
beautiful young lady, Ann, who sat on his seat at the second
sitting. Four months after arriving in Wellington, Ben met Ann
and they were married in 1963. They sailed on various ships, to
Europe, including P&Os Arcadia and the Lloyd Triestino
Galileo. In 2001, a number of friends celebrated the 40th
anniversary of their voyage on the Orion.

I
hereby wish to thank Ben and Anne Zuber for providing these
photographs. They give as a brief look at the days so many of us
(including the author) headed south to New Zealand and Australia
to start an exciting new life! If you have enjoyed this page and
you also sailed on the Orion, we will be happy to add your story
and photographs to this page! email

Survey
on Immigrant Ships
and
their Passengers to Australia
Phillip
Massaad, a long time supporter of ssMaritime, has requested that
I place a special survey online to assist him with his thesis on Immigrant
Ships and their passengers. Your assistance will provide him with
a good source of information. Thus, If you migrated to Australia
and came by ship, you may consider completing this special survey.
When completed email it to Phillip at nma32832@bigpond.net.au
Your
support is appreciated!

PLEASE
NOTE: I receive hundreds of requests for Passenger/Crew Lists
and Sailing Schedules. I hereby wish to advise that I am unable
to assist due to time restrains and as most shipping companies
have long gone these lists/schedules are no longer available. I
regret to advise that any request for these will no longer be
answered regardless of the circumstances presented!

Photographs
on ssmaritime and its associate pages are: 1. By the author. 2. From
the authors private collection. 3. As
provided by Shipping Companies and private photographers or
collectors. Credit is given to all contributors. However, there
are photographs provided to me by supporters without details
regarding the photographer concerned. I hereby invite the owners
of these images, if they would be so kind to make them-selves
known to me, 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
they often refuse to give me credit and at times even refuse to
remove them, knowing full well that there is no legal comeback
when it comes to the net. However, let us show the charlatans up
and do the right thing at all times and give credit where credit
is due! Note: I do not
credit those who send me photos as they are not the owners of the
photographs concerned, unless the image is part of their private
collection.
This
notice covers all pages, although, 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!
