Seen her in Sydney as JAN greek flag on passage to China before C Y Tung got a hold of her Majestic ships

As the "Jan" she was chartered back to the NZSCo for one outward voyage to Australia and was then delivered to Taiwanese breakers arriving in Kaohsiung August 1968 but had a reprieve and was resold in September 1968 to Oriental Latin America Lines and renamed "Oriental Esmeralda". After a refit in Hong Kong she entered a round the world service from San Diego and finnally went to the breakers in April 1976 in Kaohsiung.

A lovely ship and an equally lovely funnel - the latter is still in use today, well the design is anyway.
