Cathay
Baudouinville - Cathay - Kenghshin - Shanghai
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the P&O liner
Cathay
, ex-
Baudouinville
.
Jadotville
and
Baudouinville (3)
were the last passengerships built for
Cie.Mar.Belge
in 1957. They had a very short life with their original owners before being sold to P&O as the
Chitral
and
Cathay
in 1961, operating from UK to the Far East. In 1970, both sisters passed to P&O subsidiary Eastern & Australian Steamship Co, serving between Australia, the Far East and Japan.
Chitral
was scrapped in 1975, but
Cathay
was sold for further use, becoming the
Shanghai
of China Ocean Shipping Co in 1978, after briefly being named
Kenghshin
.
Shanghai
was scrapped in 1996.
