Description

The SS Australis: A Story of a Beloved Liner's Final Years. The SS Australis was once a well-known ocean liner, entering service in 1940 as the SS America for the United States Lines. After being sold to the Greek Chandris Lines in 1964, she went on to serve successfully on the Western-Europe-Australia-New Zealand route until her retirement in 1977. This book tells the story of the SS Australis from its purchase in 1964 until its tragic wrecking in January 1994. With meticulous attention to detail, it explores the ship's history and provides a unique insight into its final years at sea. With over 50 pages of information, this volume is a must-have for anyone interested in maritime history and the story of the SS Australis.
