Physical description

The 'Good Morning' newsletter/program for the 22 December 1971 was obtained by Mr Bates on his voyage from the UK to Australia. The newsletter/program described the daily events taking place on board as the ship travelled from Las Palmas to Cape Town. These included keep fit classes, bridge games, the daily 'tote' on the ship's progress as well as tea dance and choir practice. There was also useful information on postage rates in South Africa, currency exchange rates, schedule of pool cleaning and items available in the shops aboard. To note was the fact that seawater was used in the swimming pools and also in the bathrooms.
