The SS Mongolia

I posted last year on the SS Manchuria that sailed the London-China-Australia route – today her sister ship the SS Mongolia. The Mongolia was a steam turbine-driven twin-screw passenger-and-cargo liner launched in 1922 for P&O. For most of its life it plied the India-China-Australia route. Later it was renamed the SS Europa and sailed around New Zealand and then as a cruise ship in the Caribbean. She was scrapped in 1963. It took a bit longer but seems to me a far preferable way to travel than cattle class on a 747.
