Piet Mulder Sails on the
SS 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.

there are some images that have been provided by Shipping Companies and private

there are some photographs provided to me without details regarding the

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!

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
