name that ship

[wl745]

I served in the RAF in Aden from 1961/63 and saw many ships pass through including the Canberra on her maiden voyage ,a lot of immigrant ships going to Australia also passed through and two stick out.They where four funnel jobs and I was told they were on the way back to the uk to be scrapped.Would anyone have an idea as to /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gifwhat the names of these two ships where?

Only 15 four funnel ships were ever built and the last two to be scrapped were the RMS Aquatania ,Scrapped 1950 and the SS Arundel Castle ,Scrapped 1959

I was on the Canberra when i was 10yrs old enroute to New York when she had to heave to for 10 hours mid Atlantic when Hurricane Bula came calling.45 thousand tons and took water overall! Seems i only go out when its rough now!!
