CANBERRA leaving Lisbon


P&O CANBERRA of 1961 departing from Lisbon on 28 September 1996. The final masterpiece from the famous Harland & Wolff Belfast shipyards, she was a trend setter for most of her long career as a passenger liner and cruise ship with a spell in the South Atlantic as a troopship in 1982. By 1996 she is near the end of her long life for a P&O ship and only one more year of cruise service is left before her final voyage East to the breakers in Pakistan. In 1996 her profile was outdated, but at the time I could not notice it. She was always one of my favorite ships of the 1960s.
