- This is the
fifth in a series of ten pages devoted to postcards of the complete
UK Passenger Fleet of 1967. It is based on the fleet lists of
Colin Worker's book The World's Passenger Ships, published
by Ian Allen in that year. 1967 was the the end of an era for
British passenger ships, since it was the last year that the
famous Cunard Queens sailed together across the Atlantic. In
1967, there was still a substantial fleet of British ocean liners
and cross-channel packets, and the purpose-built cruise ships
and multi-purpose car ferries that would change the shape of
passenger shipping were largely still to come. The availability
of such an excellent work of reference, plus the interest of
the year, makes it a most suitable one to survey. I have relied
on Colin Worker's book for selecting the ships to include, thereby
omitting many vessels under 1000 gross tons.

- I have been
collecting IOMSPCo postcards for over forty years, and first
travelled on one of their ships at the age of seven. I will eventually
create many pages on their fleet, but this selection is largely
restricted to the J.Arthur Dixon colour cards issued from the
late 1960s. I have also included a few earlier cards of their
magnificent centenary steamer, the Lady of Mann of 1930.
