"ORIANA" STEAM POWER TURBINE MODERN OCEAN LINER
SS Oriana was the last of the Orient Steam Navigation Company's ocean liners.
She was built at Vickers-Armstrongs, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England
and launched on 3 November 1959 by Princess Alexandra. Originally
resplendent with her owners' traditional corn coloured hull, Oriana appeared as
an Orient Line ship until 1966, when that company was fully absorbed into the
P&O group. Faced with unprofitable around the world passenger routes, the
P&O white hulled Oriana was operated as a full-time cruise ship from 1973.
Between 1981 and her retirement from service five years later, Oriana was
based at Sydney, Australia, operating to Pacific Ocean and South-East Asian
ports. Deemed surplus to P&O's requirements in early 1986, the vessel was
sold to become a floating hotel and tourist attraction, first in Japan and later in
China. As a result of damage sustained from a severe storm whilst in the port of
Dalian in 2004, SS Oriana was finally sold to local breakers in 2005.
