Passenger ships and freighters of the 50's and 60's
Nice UTube video of ships from those years by a Burns Phillips agent in Port Adelaide.
See if you can spot one of yours.

Probably because from my time at sea, but the lines of most of those ships were pleasing to the eye, not at all like the floating pigeon lofts we se today, nice memories, kt

Thanks for the video clip some nice looking old girls there. Curious about the Hull colour changes you see on that clip. Why did Blue Star line seem to change the hull colours so often? or was it possibly chartered in tonnage ?

Port Adelaide like Port Melbourne were busy ports back then.
But now it is only box boats and cruise ships.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Who doesn't like the Shadows nd Johny Cash? And there was one BI ship on there. I think it was the Nuddea. Anyone more sure?
