Educational cruise ship DUNERA at Cardiff Docks, negative
Children embarking educational cruise ship DUNERA at Queen Alexandra Dock, Cardiff.
She was used for school trips between 1961-67, operated by the British-India line.
Built in 1937 by Barclay, Curle & Co., Glasgow and served as troop ship during the war before being converted for school cruises in the 1960s. She infamously transported 2,500 German and Austrian Jews to Australia in 1940, who were treated as Prisoners of War only to be returned to Britain as "Internees" less than a year later.
