Bert Lamers

The ss 'Australis' was a well known ocean liner which entered service in 1940 as the 
ss 'America' for the United States Lines. The ship was sold to the Greek Chandris Lines in 1964 and served until 1977 very succesfully on the route Western-Europe-Australia-New Zealand. Later the route became a full round-the-world-service. After her Australian period the liner sailed under the names of 'America' (for the third time), 'Italis', 'Noga', 'Alferdoss' and finally 'American Star'. In this volume of Liners the history of the great liner from when she was purchased by the Greek interest in 1964 until her sad wracking in January 1994.

Ordered in 1938 to replace the aging ships on the Dutch East Indies route, her keel was laid in 1939 at De Schelde shipyard in Flushing, Netherlands, for Rotterdamsche Lloyd. Interrupted by World War II and two bombing raids, the liner finally departed for her maiden voyage on December 2, 1947, as 'Willem Ruys'.

The s.s. 'America' was an ocean liner which entered service in 1940 for the United States Lines. She was designed by the famous naval architect William Francis Gibbs. In the 54 years between her introduction and her wrecking in 1994, she had eight different owners (of which one twice) and sailed under the names of 'America' (carrying this name three different times), 'West Point', 'Australis', 'Italis', 'Noga', 'Alferdoss' and 'American Star'. She served most in passenger service as s.s. 'America' and s.s. 'Australis'. In this number of Liners the story of this remarkable ship.

The Italian cruise ship Willem Ruys was built between 1939 and 1947. When it was sold to the Italian Lauro Organization in 1966, it was renamed after the company owner Achille Lauro. After being hijacked by Palestinian warriors (PLO), in October 1985, the blue liner and cruiser made international headlines. Swept by a catastrophic fire Achille Lauro sank December 2, 1994, off the Somalian coast.

Her novel design and lavish interiors led many to consider her the greatest of ocean liners. Despite this, Normandie was not a commercial success. During service the flagship of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, made 139 westbound transatlantic crossings and held the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing at several points during her service career.
