Seaway Princess Ann

I sailed on the Oriana from San Francisco to Sydney November 1973. Am wondering if this was the same Oriana mentioned here in the video?
She was a beautiful ship and the crew and staff very friendly and helpful. She had been made into a One class ship.
Happy Memories.

Terrible end for a beautiful ship. I had the pleasure of working onboard her as Senior 3rd Radio Officer in 1976 - 77. Very happy days.

An excellently produced and constructed video but it is oh so sad. One of my old ships and to see her end like this almost brings a tear to the eye. I am glad I watched it though.

How sad! I saw her in Southhampton in 1963 when she was in her heyday. She was a very graceful ship.
