Anchor Line's CIRCASSIA scheduled to arrive at Liverpool homeward bound from India and Pakistan

Liverpool marks the final call by Anchor Line's passenger / cargo liner CIRCASSIA

 The City of Liverpool and the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board welcomed the 1937-built 483-feet long and 11,137 gross ton Anchor Line passenger / cargo liner CIRCASSIA when she arrived from Bombay (India) and berthed at Princes Landing Stage on her final visit to Liverpool.

   A bagpipe piper from the Liverpool Clan MacLeod Pipe Band played a lament – a musical expression of grief, regret or mourning – when the Glasgow-based ship arrived.

   CIRCASSIA had served on the Glasgow and Liverpool service to Karachi  and Bombay for all of her commercial service, and, during World War 11, she was requisitioned by the Admiralty, London, and in 1940 was converted to an armed merchant cruiser, then in 1942 became a Troopship and in 1943 became an Infantry Landing Ship.

   In August 1947 she was returned to Anchor Line and restarted on her pre-war service from UK to Pakistan and India.

   A spokesman for Anchor Line said that the ship had been put up for sale, either as a going concern for further service, or as a floating centre or even for demolition.
