I have just been shipwrecked under the auspices of P&O and I assure you that it is the pleasantest thing imaginable.
-
For all the soul of our sad East is there,
Beneath the house-flag of the P&O
-
If you are ever shipwrecked . . . do contrive to get the catastrophe conducted by the Peninsular and Oriental Company.
-
P&O is as old as seagoing steamships and its story weaves like a thread through the history of the British Empire.
-
Every Britisher and Imperialist is proud of the Peninsular and Oriental Navigation Company. We feel it is part of the British Constitution.
-
. . . But still the wild wind wakes off Gardafui, And hearts turn eastward with the P&O's.
-
Every P&O passenger list is a mosaic of British activities, official and unofficial, in the vast and populous regions of the Eastern seas
