Episode 6:  East of Suez

The 6th video in this widely acclaimed series brings to you the story of one of Britain’s greatest maritime names. British India, one of the largest shipping Company’s in the British Merchant Navy, had over 400 ships serve with it during it’s 109-year lifetime. Their enormous network of passenger and cargo ships served even the smallest ports east of Suez. Shunning the spotlight so much sought after by the glamourous Atlantic liners, the Company provided special service aboard such classic ships as the Malda, Dunera, Rajula, Chantala, Waroonga, Nevasa, Kenya and Uganda. Critic’s report:- The memories come thick and fast recapturing perfectly the ambience of what was, in effect, the Raj at sea.
