Princess at anchor off Mystery Island
Vanuatu
Page two contains her interiors. Page three has photographs
of the China Sea Discovery. Links are located at the bottom of each Album page.
Photographs on this page are by: 1) the Author (A),
or 2) from the Author’s Private Collection (AC) and 3), several photographs were supplied by the Ships
Photographer (SP). These are
used with the photographer’s kind permission!
We
trust these images will bring back many happy memories to those who have
cruised on this fine ship in and around the United
States, and later in the South Pacific with Sydney as her homeport.
The
Fair Princess is currently
called the China Sea Discovery,
but she is due to head for Iraq
to be used as an international workers floating hotel.
These
photographic pages covers her interiors and exteriors, thus if you have sailed
on her, I am sure these pages will have you reliving your days at sea on this
classic liner. Currently, the TSS
Albatros is the only one out of the four Saxonia Class liners that is still
cruising full time around the world. This is the wonderful Albatros (image hereunder).

Photographs on
ssmaritime and associate pages are by the author or from the author’s
private collection. In
addition there are some images that have been provided by Shipping Companies
and private photographers or collectors. Credit is given to all contributors.
However, there are some photographs provided to me without details regarding
the photographer/owner concerned. I hereby invite if owners of these images
would be so kind to make them-selves known to me (my email address may be found
on www.ssmaritime.com
only), in order that due credit may be given. I know what it is like, I have
seen a multitude of my own photographs on other sites, yet these individuals
either refuse to provide credit or remove them when asked, knowing full well
that there is no legal comeback when it comes to the net. However, let us show
these charlatans up and do the right thing at all times and give credit where
credit is due!
This notice covers all pages,
although, and I have done my best to ensure that all photographs are duly
credited and that this notice is displaced on each page, that is, when a page
