Commissioned in 1961, she operated ocean voyages and cruises, earning the affectionate nickname the "Great White Whale". In 1980, she was a centerpiece of P&O's cruise fleet before being requisitioned in 1982 to serve as a troopship during the Falklands War. Souvenir items like this miniature lifebelt were sold onboard to passengers in the ship’s gift shops as mementos of their voyage.
