Tom, I am embarrassed. You are correct. Thank you for getting this record straight.

Hi, I think Clyde's comments refer to the earlier FAIRSEA (ex Charger -49), built 1941, 13317grt.

Best regards

Tom

The Fairsea holds an important place in the memory of many immigrants to Australia during the post World War II period. She was the first passenger ship of the famous Sitmar Line and the first non-British ship employed to carry assisted immigrants from Britain to Australia.

The Fairsea was a regular sight in Australian waters and made a total of 81 voyages to and from Australia between 1949 and 1969.

Above and more from http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/infosheets/fairsea/

Thank you very much Mr Dot.
