Piet Mulder Sails on the
SS Fairsky

Fairsky
seen at anchor in Port Said
In 1963 Piet Mulder, at the age of 24 sailed to Melbourne
Australia,
and as most travellers did in those days, he came Downunder by sea. Joining the
Sitmar liner SS Fairsky in Southampton on Thursday 27 September 1963, Fairsky
sailed via the Suez Canal to Melbourne.
The photographs above and below are a few of his photographic memories of that
voyage.

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 associated
pages are: 1. By the author. 2. From
the author’s private collection. 3. As provided by Shipping Companies and private photographers and
collectors. Credit is given to all contributors. However, there are some
photographs provided to me without details regarding these “unknown
photographers.” I therefore humbly invite if any owners of these images
would be so kind to make them-selves known to me, that I may be able to provide
due credit. I know what it is like, I have seen a multitude of my personal
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 internet. However, let us show these
charlatans up and do the right thing at all times and give credit where credit
is due! Note: I
usually do not credit those who send me photographs as they are not the owners
of the images concerned, unless the image is part of a private collection, etc.
This
notice above 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!
