Lloyd Triestino, Genoa. I sailed on their 'Galileo Gallilee' on the same run. They were not steam ships, but very diesel motored ! I missed the morning newspaper and radio broadcasts, and have avoided being 'at sea' for over thirty years. eric.

I remember boarding the SS Victoria at Karachi as a little boy with my aunt to meet some of her relatives who were servering on the ship and hailed from her village in Goa. I believe both were owned by the Llyod Tresino line.
