Anchor Line service to Bombay (Mumbai), 1950s

[edit]

Information and documentation for service of (especially) the ships known as “Cilicia” and “Circassia” between 1952 and 1957. My family crossed to Bombay on P&O SS in 1952, followed by returns to the Uk on Anchor Line’s Cilicia & Circassia. Cilicia was latterly used as a hospital ship in the battle with Argentina for the Falkland Islands. Milda Bawoo (talk) 17:45, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Lord Runciman?

[edit]

The article says "Shipping magnate Lord Runciman saved the company, letting it retain its identity." Surely the link is to the wrong Runciman. This Runciman was not a lord in 1935 and was a career polititian. His father Walter Runciman was a lord and a shipping magnate, although there is no mention of his involvement with the Anchor Line in the latter's article. Also we could use a citation.
