[ONLY 1 AVAILABLE]
CONDITION -- Very Good
HISTORY -- The RMS Windsor Castle was the largest passenger/cargo mail ship operated by the Union-Castle Line on its 'Cape Mail' service to South African ports. Built in 1959, the new vessel was notable for the high standard, if conservative, design of her public rooms in a "traditional" first class and "contemporary" tourist class configuration, which by clever arrangement, afforded both classes public rooms and deck space facing forward. The spacious passenger lounges and dining rooms were designed by eminent British architects. Windsor Castle was air-conditioned throughout the passenger and crew areas.

DESCRIPTION -- B/W postcard of the Swedish Lloyd vessel the MS Saga which is in an excellent condition and is just one of our vast stock collection.
[ONLY 1 AVAILABLE]
CONDITION -- Excellent
HISTORY -- The origins of Swedish Lloyd date back to 1869, but it was only with the purchase of Thule Line in 1916 that they entered the North Sea passenger market. The Thule Steamship Co had been formed in Gothenburg in 1870. They traded between Gothenburg and Granton (near Edinburgh) in Scotland, chosen because the Wilson Line (Thomas Wilson & Son) was already dominant in Hull, and London was already served by the London Line of a different Wilson, J.W.Wilson (an Englishman based in Gothenburg). Thule's first passenger steamer was the Bele of 1879.
