Phoenix-Reisen's Albatros ex Dawn Princess, ex Sylvania sailing from Southampton. The yacht in the foreground is Blue Bird and was once owned by speed ace Sir Malcolm Campbell.
Originally Cunard Line's Sylvania and then Sitmar Line's Fairwind. At anchor off Monaco during her first months under P&O ownership, after they had absorbed (obliterated) Sitmar and rebranded the ships under the Princess Cruises banner.
The new Sylvania completes the first leg of her Maiden Voyage as she arrives in Montreal in June, 1957. Shes just past beneath the Jacques Cartier Bridge seen in the background.
The luxury liners Independence, America, United States, Olympia, the American aircraft carrier, USS Intrepid, and the liners Queen Elizabeth, Mauretania, and Sylvania, are all shown in New York in the summer of 1961.
