Back in 1957 I sailed as a young, young boy ( I was 5 ) on the Oxfordshire. From Liverpool to Singapore. Years later I researched the ship and found that she was still sailing and now was berthed in Australia. She became the first Dawn Princess. I am saddened to learn that she is now being dismantled in India. However, she sailed longer than many newer ships in her lifetime. An honourable life she has had.
