Piet Mulder’s voyage on …

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.
