There must have been an earlier ship of the same name ( Shipping lines often reuse names to give continuity).I thought it looked a bit modern for 1911! The picture was on the P&O website, but further research should be able to produce another image of the correct ship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450280078972207480.post-1850635326470877592013-02-07T18:40:42.416+11:002013-02-07T18:40:42.416+11:00Thanks for looking!Thanks for looking!Global Philatelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248667117037255652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450280078972207480.post-86330788104729776312012-12-30T15:11:03.959+11:002012-12-30T15:11:03.959+11:00Thanks for the great link Bob!Thanks for the great link Bob!Global Philatelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248667117037255652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450280078972207480.post-23461775470747155702012-12-30T06:01:49.418+11:002012-12-30T06:01:49.418+11:00Travelling Post Offices are part of postal history...Travelling Post Offices are part of postal history studied by members of the Mobile Post Office Society.

The research took less than a day, which is further proof that the internet has it's uses! Postal history brings stamps to life, and as I love social history, it's a natural fit.<br /><br />Thanks for coming across via Twitter. I use Twitter, Facebook (as Global Philately) and my blog, and I love to see the synergy between the three!<br /><br />Thanks again :)Global Philatelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248667117037255652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450280078972207480.post-20297696105018373472012-11-02T02:42:43.382+11:002012-11-02T02:42:43.382+11:00Glad I found your blog via twitter.
