〽️RMS Orcades - ORIENT LINE (Videoclip)

SS Orcades was an ocean liner serving primarily the UK - Australia - New Zealand route. She started service as a British Royal Mail Ship (RMS) carrying first and tourist class passengers. Orcades carried many migrants to Australia and New Zealand and was later used as a cruise ship, and is featured in the British Pathe films "I am a passenger" on UA-cam. She also made several voyages from Canada (Vancouver). "Orcades" is the Latin name for the Orkney Islands.
Built at the Barrow-in-Furness yard of Vickers-Armstrong, Orcades (yard no. 950) had an identical hull and machinery to P&O's Himalaya (yard no. 951), but differed in superstructure and interior layout. The vessel's near-sister ships were Oronsay and Orsova
In 1952 Orcades was fitted with a 'top hat' funnel extension to clear smoke from the after decks. On 7 May 1952, she ran aground in Port Philip Bay half a mile off Rosebud Pier, Victoria, Australia. She was refloated and returned to service.
During the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, Orcades served as an accommodation ship.
Orcades was refitted in 1959 and 1964. In the 1964 refit, Orcades became a single-class vessel and her hull colour changed from "Orient corn" to white.

In 1967 my parents, me and my sister sailed from Tilbury docks London to Melbourne Australia on an assisted passage for migrants. This journey when I was 7 years of age will be forever ingrained in my mind a wonderful experience that will be with me forever ❤

Sabe Marcos, com esse canal pra videoclipes, seu canal principal vai ficar bem vazio, mas tudo bem, a escolha é sua. P.S: vi o caronia ancorado no começo do vídeo :)
