The cabin steward was my mother’s Cousin James (Jim) McNair and so we were very well looked after. unfortunately we had a horrendous trip through the Bay of Biscayne and me and two of my brothers spent a couple of weeks very seasick.I too remember the wee boys in the Suez Canal trying to sell camera lighters and the crippled beggars in Colombo ( now) Ceylon. I was 14 years of age and when we arrived on a wet day in Fremantle I was bemused at seeing the Australian kid in raincoats and hats but bare feet.I said to my parents that we had seen the Aussie white natives and tried to sell the Dandy and Beano comics.My brother Bill and I are the only ones still living I am 85 and Bill is 81 I am still A proud Scotsman and will be as long as I breathe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784818136223459509.post-64034423655120467592022-06-21T17:49:51.916-04:002022-06-21T17:49:51.916-04:00I am looking for information about the Cameronia i...I am looking for information about the Cameronia in 1952.

I was 9 years old when we travelled overnight on the "boat train" from London to Glasgow in 1952 and sailed on the SS Cameronia arriving in Melbourne on 6 November (I was thoroughly peed off about missing Guy Fawkes Day). My father also came out earlier that year on the Otranto, I think leaving Tilbury about Feb 1952. He came out with a group of men who all worked for Holloway Brothers and their families followed about 9-10 months later, and moved into the houses they had constructed. I remember Suez Canal and the native boats, also that we had a lot of trouble understanding the broad Scottish accents of the crew.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878760853792996691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784818136223459509.post-56325539932218293892021-03-12T09:59:32.427-05:002021-03-12T09:59:32.427-05:00Thank you for sharing the valuable content.
