Thank you for sharing your memories from this ship. Thank you for the correction on SS. It adds to my knowledge. I was only 5 years at the time.

I travelled on that ship (January 1959) to go to Singapore. I was 9 years old, and loved the whole experience (and absolutely loved Singapore and Malaya). I learned to swim in the swimming pool on the SS Corfu while in the Red Sea. I remember we watched films in the afternoon – first, a swim, then cream doughnuts while watching the film. I remember the smell of the ship (mainly tar and Diesel, I think).
By the way, many people (including myself until fairly recently) thought that SS stands for Steam Ship, but apparently I understand that it stands for Screw Ship or Screw Steamer (as opposed to PS for Paddle Steamer) – but there seems to be many different accounts about that.
