Yes, I got a few emails from people who had to pay for their own tickets and chose to go the cheapest way. They wrote about other aspects of travelling by ship that I was not aware of. > And finally, remember besides SS "Karanja" and SS > "Kampala", there were also the SS "Kenya" and > SS "Uganda". I wonder what happened to all these > vessels. May be, could someone enlighten us ? I know SS Uganda wound up as a hospital ship during the Falklands conflict. Don't know what happened to SS Kenya. Incidentally, the Shipping Corporation of India sent a brand new luxury ship to take pilgrims to Goa for the 1974 exposition. I remember the ship clearly. It was real sleek and had a sort of platform/railing around its funnel. We were sitting on St. Joseph's church wall looking at the ship when someone commented, "They must have know Goans were travelling because they added a roof-rack for the extra luggage." Can you imagine a cruise ship with 95% of the passengers being Goan? That would be one party boat! There has got to be someone here who can write about that particular trip.....
