P&O liner RMS 'Moldavia' (2)

GRT was 16,436. According to the Australian National Maritime Museum: "RMS Moldavia II was initially built as a single funnel in 1921 by Cammell Laird and Company at Birkenhead for Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. It was launched on 1 October 1921 and was designed to service the passenger trade between Britain and Australia via Marseilles, Suez and Colombo. It could accommodate 840 tourist class passengers.

"In 1928, it was fitted with a second (artificial) funnel in light of criticisms of its outmoded appearance. Despite its old-fashioned design, Moldavia was able to serve the passenger trade between England and Australia for fifteen years before the ship was superseded by the new ‘Strath’ liners. Moldavia made its final voyage from Sydney to Tilbury on 17 September 1937 before it was scrapped in 1938."
