During the summer of 1985, Cunard Lines berthed a number of their ships at Vittoria Dock, Birkenhead prior to selling them to Greece. On this day, Sat 10th August 1985, there were a total of 10 vessels moored in this compact dock... Cunard Lines Reefers: Carinthia, Samaria, Saxonia, Carmania, Servia

A nice view of the Saxonia arriving at her dock in Montreal in 1955.

The new Saxonia is seen on her sea trials in August, 1954 in this official Cunard Line photo.

SAXONIA, Cunard Steam-Ship Co. Ltd.

Nice trials photo of the first of the Cunard Quartet for the Canadian service built by John Brown. She was completed in 1954 and was renamed CARMANIA in the early 1960s and converted for cruising. She then had a 25 year career as the Russian LEONID SOBINOV before being scrapped at Alang in 1999.
