Southampton Castle at Southampton 1960s but do not know date. If memory serves me right she was the last Union Castle Mail Ship to leave Southampton in 1977 later to be sold to Costa Line as Franca C?.

I think Southampton Castle became Paola C and it was Good Hope Castle that became Franca C; David.

You could be right about that Fred, but both were mail ships, passenger/cargo liners. Southampton Castle was the last mails ship to leave Southampton for Union Castle.

Very true David, but when you took this photograph she did not have any passenger accommodation, which is why I moved it to the Cargo Ship Gallery.
