P&O-ORIENT LINES OF THE 1950-1960

The 1950s and 1960s was the last golden age of ocean liners. It was an age of manay modern, superbly designed ships that were created just before the great inroads of the jet age. The long route out to Australia ana New Zealand was among the longest lasting, until the early 1970s. It was still supported  by regular passenger traffic; one-way travelers, occasional tourist and, of course, the last waves of migrants, mostly heading for new lines Down Under.
