STRATHMORE (1935-1969)

The third of P&O's five white sisters, STRATHMORE was launched at Barrow on 4 April 1935 by the Duchess of York, (daughter of the Earl of Strathmore), who became Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and later Her Majesty the Queen Mother.

The STRATHMORE had a single, centrally placed funnel. Its shorter length, compared with the funnels installed on the subsequent STRATHEDEN and STRATHALLAN, was one of the few features that helped to distinguish her from her later half-sisters.

Built by Vickers Armstrong, Barrow-in-Furness. 665 feet long. 23,428 tons.

Passengers: (as built) 445 First Class, 665 Tourist; (from 1949) 497 First Class, 487 Tourist; (from 1961) 1,200 Tourist Class.
