MALOJA

My Dad sailed on the ss Maloja. crossing the equator on 17th oct 1951. received a King Neptune Certificate. He sailed from England, emigrating to Australia. Any further information would be welcome.

I arrived on ship Maloja age 11months with my mother and 3 other siblings. Mother's name Bridget Hunt . It was November 1953 my name was Carol Theresa Hunt we disembarked in Melbourne . I would like manifest of the passenger's or if you can find out any information on myself and my arrival . My father arrived befor us as he transferred to the RAAF BASE SALE

A few years ago I bought photograph in a second hand shop of the engineer staff of the S.S Maloja seated on the deck. I am thinking it's taken in 1923 due to the framing sticker on the back. The company who framed it was Geo.Styles of Rowe Street Sydney. I established that this framing business ceased in 1923 - the same year that this ship was launched. I have all the names of the staff as they have personally signed the card surrounding the photograph. I have tried to find more about the staff as a way of possibly finding a descendant but to no avail.

I believe we were on the Maloja crossing the equator in October 1951. We were my mother (Eunice) myself and my 2 brothers. We disembarked in Sydney.

We came out from England on this ship in April 1952 to settle in Launceston Tasmania. My mother Ursula Mary Bentley my father Sidney Bentley, myself Elizabeth Margaret Bentley aged nearly 7 and my brother Ian Howard Bentley aged about 3. I have a postcard somewhere.

Attention : Elizabeth Price. I had my 12th Birthday on Maloja a few days out of Tilbury UK in July 1952. Knight family of 5 going to Brisbane Australia where we arrived in August 1952 after a 6 week voyage which stopped at all the main Aust Ports on the way. Guess your family must have got off in Melbourne if they were going to Tasmania. Great memories - what an adventure at age of 12 !

I arrived in Melbourne with my family on the “Maloja” on August 15, 1953. I was seven.

I arrived in Melbourne in September 1948 with my parents who were ten pound Poms. My father came out to work for Malvern Star who were making bikes at their city factory which is now the sight of Jeff's shed.
