@ Shaun..You are going to think me argumentative now!!! But serious the thing I DO like about it..Is the twin funnels..The rest of it I find unremarkable..And the Canberra of P&O was better looking IMHO.
BTW the photo is real nice.
Real sharp for 1977.

I don't seee it.
As in I don't see it as nice looking.
There is something off about the Bridge and the three decks below it..And how this merges with the semi circular part.
It just jars to me..It's also too narrow and pinched.

As Shalom, she called in Montréal several times during Expo 67, World Fair. I had the good fortune to be invited aboard for a quick visit and have a snack at tea time.
Thanks for all your comments.

I sailed on her during her last year as 'Hanseatic', March 1973 before being old to home lines. My grandparents traveled her regularly and always took the cabin 11 and 12 windows back above the hull. I knew little of steamships back them and was amazed when visiting the engine room seeing the boiler heating the tar like sludge fuel to a consistency to be burned in the regular furnaces. A great ship.

So simple shaped, yet so elegant indeed! And twin funnels give her more a attractive look than the classic single funnel.

Great looking ship and picture.

Another totally excellent post! mrdot.

Fantastic! I've always regarded this as being a most elegant ship (I'm one of the few that prefer her in this twin-funnelled guise). This, I believe, is the very best photo that I have ever seen of her.
