    "ORIANA" STEAM POWER TURBINE MODERN OCEAN LINER
    SS Oriana was the last of the Orient Steam Navigation Company's ocean liners.
    She was built at Vickers-Armstrongs, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England
    and launched on 3 November 1959 by Princess Alexandra. Originally
    resplendent with her owners' traditional corn coloured hull, Oriana appeared as
    an Orient Line ship until 1966, when that company was fully absorbed into the
    P&O group. Faced with unprofitable around the world passenger routes, the
    P&O white hulled Oriana was operated as a full-time cruise ship from 1973.
    Between 1981 and her retirement from service five years later, Oriana was
    based at Sydney, Australia, operating to Pacific Ocean and South-East Asian
    ports. Deemed surplus to P&O's requirements in early 1986, the vessel was
    sold to become a floating hotel and tourist attraction, first in Japan and later in
    China. As a result of damage sustained from a severe storm whilst in the port of
    Dalian in 2004, SS Oriana was finally sold to local breakers in 2005.
