Bryan, This ship most certainly was originally a Union-Castle liner. She was built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast in 1936 as the Dunnottar Castle and was used mostly on the Round Africa service. She served as a troop transport during the war and in 1948 was returned to Union-Castle Line service. In 1959 she was sold to Incres Line and was given an extensive rebuild which transformed her into the cruise ship Victoria. She was sold to Chandris in 1975 and they slightly amended her name to The Victoria.

And how wonderful was this conversion from Union Castle! mrdot.
