Portuguese liner PÁTRIA (1947-1973)

Two photographs of the Portuguese passenger mail liner PÁTRIA of 1947: the ship boats deck with motor cars stowed, and berthed at Cape Town.
The PÁTRIA was the first of six post-WW2 brand new passenger liners built for Companhia Colonial de Navegação, Lisbon.
She was constructed by John Brown's at Clydebank and sailed on her maiden voyage from Lisbon in January 1948. Photos taken by Michael Sutcliffe. The main data and history of the PÁTRIA can be seen here in Portuguese.
