Estate sale find, vintage original P&O Orient Lines, S.S. Chusan, Plan of Accommodation, Tourist Class, March 1964.
P&O (Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company) was a British shipping and logistics company dating from the early 19th century.
After 1945, the passenger market declined to India, but boomed to Australia. P&O built 15 large passenger liners, including Himalaya, Chusan, Arcadia, and Iberia, culminating in Oriana and Canberra, which were an unprecedented speed and size.
The SS Chusan was a British ocean liner and cruise ship, built for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company\'s Indian and Far East Service in 1950. She was named after Chusan, a small island off China. A smaller version of the SS Himalaya.
She was built as a replacement for the RMS Viceroy of India, lost in the Second World War and brought new standards of shipboard luxury to India and the Far East. She was the last passenger liner built for P & O by Vickers-Armstrongs.
Chusan entered service in 1950, with her maiden voyage from London, England to Bombay, India. But she first made two \"shake down\" \"all first class trips\", one of a week\'s length and the other of a fortnight, sailing to Lisbon, Casablanca and Madeira.
For most of her working life, she carried passengers between London, Bombay, and Japan, but from 1963 also operated to Sydney, Australia. In 1973, she retired from service and was sold to be scrapped.
