STRATHAIRD at sea

In: Selected Images; Part of our P&O in Pictures gallery

Date:
After 1947

Medium:
Black & White Negative

Description:
STRATHAIRD (1932) had compact boilers which obviated the need for additional funnels. However, in order to counteract the misheld public perception that single funnelled ships were less powerful dummy first and third funnels had to be added. These were removed in the 1947 refit to increase the deck space for passengers.
