EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1961 with this vibrant colour illustration depicting the tourist class playroom on board P&O's superliner Canberra. Designed by London architect John Wright, this nursery was a haven for young travellers during Canberra's maiden voyage to Sydney, Australia. The walls were adorned with murals by renowned artist Mary Fedden, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the space. The playroom featured a magnetic wall with letters and numbers, providing educational entertainment for children on board. This historical snapshot captures an important moment in maritime history, as Canberra was the largest ship built by Harland & Wolff shipyard since White Star's Britannic in 1914.
