These two photos were taken from P&O offices at 32 shed, showing the Orontes, having disembarked passengers at the Landing Stage (now Cruise Terminal), on completion of her last voyage from Australia. She is on her way up river to enter Tilbury lock.

Emigrated to Australia on the Orontes in Nov 1958 aged 10 with my family from Tilbury via Gibraltar, Naples, Port Said, Suez, Aden, Colombo, Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.
Great memories of the voyage , still vivid in my mind.
What a grand old lady .
