LMC favorite Liners: ORIANA of 1960





ORIANA of 1960, the final liner built for Orient Line is one of my really favorite ships. Although she was not as lucky as her rival CANBERRA she was a very distinctive ship and if I had to choose between the two, it was ORIANA, no second chance.
This series of photos sent by a very special friend were taken on ORIANA's arrival in Sydney on 30 December 1960. She was brand new by then and it was the maiden arrival in Sydney.

Great photos - wish one was in color so we could see that distinctive corn colored hull!
