Some 16mm Kodachrome footage showing the RMMV Athlone Castle departing Cape Town probably destined for Southampton late 1952.
She sailed from 1936-1965, for the Union-Castle Line (barring Wartime service). According to Wikipedia she was of 25,564 GRT and carried 246 first class, and 538 cabin class passengers. A fine looking ship!
This is amateur footage and as is often the case has only daylight shots from or of the ship decks. This footage is scanned at 2048X1536 resolution from the original film.
