Brief Ship History
: Used on the Australia to Japan route for Port Line from 1965 to 1972. PORT LINE operated independently from its owners, the P & O Group, from 1914. The container ship era spelled the end of Port Line, as it was completely absorbed within P & O.   PORT ALBANY (8,362 tons) was sold to a Greek shipping company in 1972, and renamed MAREITTA.
This is a
lovely vintage postcard in fine condition
!! It has always been stored in a smoke-free atmosphere
