Hi,
I wonder if anybody can help me I'm trying to find a passenger lists for the ship
Pretoria Castle, Year 1971 either June or July departure was from Cape Town to Southampton. The company was Union Castle Line which ceased I believe in 1977.

Sorry folks I now been told the ship was called S.A. Oranje it was originally the Pretoira Castle.

The majority, it not all, online passenger list records cease in 1960.

According to the following website, the Pretoria Castle was scrapped in 1975.
