NEW PASSENGER LINER FOR UNITED KINGDOM-NEW ZEALAND SERVICE.—An artist’s impression of the Shaw Savill and Albion Company’s passenger liner which will be launched by the Queen on August 17, 1954. The ship is being built in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is of unusual design, somewhat resembling a tanker. The engines will be as far aft as the hull will permit, leaving the entire midships section for passenger accommodation. There will be provision for about 1200 one-class passengers. No cargo will be carried. It is expected that the new liner (the name has yet to be chosen) will make her maiden voyage to South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand early in 1955.
