The first shipping company to offer cruises, more than 100 years later cruising on P&O's famous white ships remains an important part of the company's activities, although it is now an internationally based group with many wide-ranging interests. This is the history of the company and its operations.

The cowl was fitted because previously the old design ,without the cowl would discharge lumps of soot and passengers would pick the soot up and rub it into their clothes and claim compensation from the shipping company. Myself and another apprentice fitted an over sized bath tub on the Rangitoto for Queen Solotie from Tonga , I believe her visit was for our Queens coronation.
