The local agents of the company advise that the Shaw Savill liner Fordsdale is due to arrive at Bluff from London on Saturday, April 28, in ballast. At Bluff she will load meat, dairy produce and general cargo, and on completion sails for Timaru. The local agents. Messrs H. L. Tapley and Co., advise that the Canterbury Steam Shipping Company’s motor coaster Breeze will berth at Bluff from Wellington on April 16, sailing again the same day for Dunedin. Recently Sir John Masefield made an appeal for information to enable him to compile a history of the White Star Line, which more than seventy years ago. under the control of Pilkington and Wilson, of Liverpool, commenced the construction of its fleet. The Ceramic is to-day the sole survivor of the White Star Line in the Australian service. She also claims the distinction of having the largest cargo-carrying capacity of any vessel in this service, although she is one of the oldest passenger liners trading here. She made her maiden voyage to Australia in 1913, and was taken over by the Commonwealth Government in 1914 and refitted as a troopship, subsequently taking thousands of Australians to Gallipoli. and Europe.
