Hi All Sorry, abit off the topic, but I think with so many viruses happening at the moment, it helps if the subject line has an indication of the message and what it relates to so we know we're not opening hazardous email. Sorry to sound like a party pooper, but better to be safe than sorry.

Hi All, Does anybody know of passenger lists for the ship T.S.S Themistocles? The "Themistocles" was built in 1911 by Harland & Wolff, Belfast for the Aberdeen Line (Geo.Thompson & Co.). She was an 11,231 gross ton ship, twin screw with a speed of 15 knots and accommodation for 100-1st and 400-3rd class passengers. She commenced service on 16/2/1911 when she left London for Capetown, Melbourne and Sydney. In 1914 she became a troop transport and on 2/7/1920 resumed London - Capetown - Sydney and Brisbane sailings. In September 1928 she transferred to Liverpool - Capetown - Sydney - Brisbane and in 1932 was taken over, with the remainder of Aberdeen Line's assets by Shaw Saville & Albion Line. On 30/6/1932 she resumed the same service for her new owners and continued on this route until 1946 when she was laid up in the River Blackwater. In August 1947 she was broken up at Dalmuir. [North Star to Southern Cross by John M.Maber] I have a postcard from this vessel from one of my ancestors, but the postmark/date is illegible.I believe that they may have travelled on her in 1912/1914 Thanks in advance.
