The Sitmar Ships
Part
Four
SS Fairsky Deck Plan
The
Fairsky always looked just wonderful, considering she was built as a C-3 Class
freighter and then a wartime Escort Aircraft carrier
There are two Deck Plans
presented on this page, the first is dated 1958 and thus it is the Fairsky as
built. The second Plan is based from the 1970s and although it is very similar
but now she had become mostly a cruise ship and by 1974, she became a popular
full time cruise ship based in Sydney.
You will not that the most notable change was the change to the starboard side
of Dining Room C that had became the ships cinema. In addition she had been
greatly refreshed and looked more like a cruise ship and she was better that
successful and the reason that the Fairstar would take over an continue the
great Sitmar name in Australia!

1958 Deck Plan
Please Note: If
you wish to view the full size the two Deck Plans, all you have to do is click
on the relevant image of the plan and a new page will open with the large image

the image and it will return to the full size. Use your pointer to move around
the plan to view all areas!
Above is the very first edition of the plan,
and below it is the one issued close to the 1970’s. Itrust
these plans will hel you
find your room thus assit in reliving a few memories
of your days spent on the Sitmar liner, or cruise ship the Fairsky!

A superb stern view of
the TSS Fairsky in the 1970s at the then wonderful Overseas Passenger Terminal,
which is sadly no more
Today the Cruise
terminal has been moved to the other side of the city and the terminal is
shocking and you have to pat a bus fare to get to town!
I was on a cruise on
the Fairsky and berthed here at the OPT and just walked into town!
