- Bretagne - Brittany
-
-
- The Bretagne
was built for Marseilles-based SGTM in 1951. Her sistership was
the Provence, later Enrico
Costa.
Chandris refitted her for the Europe-Australia service in 1961,
although initially she operated a charter running cruises from
Boston and New York, still under the French flag. She started
her Southampton-Australia service that autumn. In May 1962, during
a further refit, the name was changed to Brittany, before
another summer cruising out of New York. Unfortunately, she was
burnt out in April 1963.

- Official
Europe Australia Line card, as Bretagne. The message on
the above card reads (posted from Funchal to a Torquay address
- date illegible):
- "Things
are getting a bit more organised but it has been absolute chaos.
I was lucky to find my cases and get them taken down, some passengers
are still waiting. All the Greeks seem to be quarrelling most
of the time - the British crew failed to come on as their unions
forbade them, extra crew coming at Madeira. The food is excellent.
Sea rough but no tossing."
