Princess at anchor off Mystery Island
Vanuatu
Page two contains her interiors. Page three has photographs of
the China Sea Discovery. Links are located at the bottom of each Album page.
Photographs on this page are by: 1) the Author (A),
or 2) from the Author’s Private Collection (AC) and 3), several photographs were supplied by the Ships
Photographer (SP). These are
used with the photographer’s kind permission!
We
trust these images will bring back many happy memories to those who have
cruised on this fine ship in and around the United
States, and later in the South Pacific with Sydney as her homeport.
The
Fair Princess is currently
called the China Sea Discovery,
but she is due to head for Iraq
to be used as an international workers floating hotel.
These
photographic pages covers her interiors and exteriors, thus if you have sailed
on her, I am sure these pages will have you reliving your days at sea on this
classic liner. Currently, the TSS
Albatros is the only one out of the four Saxonia Class liners that is still
cruising full time around the world. This is the wonderful Albatros (image hereunder).

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 associate pages are: 1. By the
author. 2. From the author’s 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 without details provided
regarding the photographer concerned. I hereby invite if owners of these images
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 either refuse to give me credit and
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!
