Passenger list SS Britanis 1974 Southampton to Fremantle?

Answer 1

I was a passenger on the SS Britanis, departing Southampton on 19th May 1974, with layovers at Las Palmas, Canary Islands and Cape Town, South Africa, and arriving in Adelaide on 15th June 1974. I can't help with a full passenger list, but I know that my own family (Terence and Beatrice Roper, plus three children Steven (myself), Fiona and Paul, a couple named Helen and Jay Massey, and another family, Victor and Angela Yeo, and their three children Gillian, Christine and Frances were all part of the passenger manifest on the May-June run, all of whom disembarked at Outer Harbour in Adelaide on 15th June 1974.

Notably during this run, there was a pilot's strike in force at Fremantle about a week before we arrived in Adelaide, which meant that the Britanis could not dock at Fremantle on this run. After standing off Fremantle for several hours, she got underway for Adelaide; the passengers for Fremantle were also put off at Adelaide, and were subsequently transported to Perth overland.

Hope this provides some help.
