Manchuria had accomodation for 12 passengers. Among the more famous passengers were Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in 1954, when they sailed unnoticed from Hull, England to the US west coast. Stan Laurel on the voyage in Manchuria:
We sailed from Hull, England, June 3rd 1954 on a Danish cargo ship, Manchuria. The voyage took 23 days, stopped in at St Thomas ( Virgin Islands ), Curacao, Cristobal and through the Panama Canal. It was very interesting, especially the canal.
- the accomodation was very nice. Good food and calm sea all the way. I really prefer travelling this way as you don't have to dress up for meals etc. as you do on the big passenger ships. There were only 10 passengers on this trip ( 12 is the limit they carry ) so it's practically like beng on a private yacht.
