RMS Strathaird (1932)



Welcome to our website paying tribute to the famous P&O White Sisters - RMS Strathnaver and RMS Strathaird. This first pair of the "Strath" ships were the crowning glory of the P&O fleet expansion of the 1930s. They introduced yet higher standards to the Australian mail service and are remembered with great affection by former passengers and crew members alike. The Strathnaver and Strathaird were imposing ships and were the first major P&O passenger ships to adopt the all-white hulls and buff funnels livery that was later to become P&O's signature livery. Indeed this colour scheme is still carried today by the cruise ships of P&O Cruises. They also adopted the turbo-electric machinery first pioneered on the Viceroy of India in 1929.

This website aims to record the history of these famous P&O White Sisters, the first pair of "Strath" liners and act as a virtual home to honour and commemorate these fine ships. We hope you enjoy this website and when you leave we hope you will visit again soon.
