MS Coral Princess, Asia's most populous passenger ship in the 70s & 80s
Here, unashamedly lifted from the pages of "The China Navigation Company Limited, A Pictorial History 1872-1992" (edited by Charlotte Havilland and published by John Swire & Sons Limited in 1992) is the Swire Fleet List of all ships owned by the line up to the early 1990s.
Over time, we intend to add photographs of some of these vessels, as and when members submit them for publication. Accordingly, the name of any such ship appears as a web link leading to its own page. Please send any photographs you'd like displayed (and brief ship details) to the web-brat; e-mail him with any questions. Please also let us know of any errors; or additions you would like to make to what is, possibly, the world's longest web page (Frank Saynor, thanks for yours..).
In the meantime, click here to review the existing CNCo fleet on CNCo's own website.
Alternatively, go back to our Home Page if box boats bore you!
