RMS Transvaal Castle by G. H. Davis
Detailed cross-section drawing of the new mailship for the Union-Castle fleet, R.M.S. Transvaal Castle, which made her maiden voyage from Southampton to South Africa on 18 January 1962. She was built by John Browns on the Clyde and launched a year before that by Lady Cayzer, wife of Sir Nicholas Cayzer, Chairman of the Union-Castle Line. The ship could carry more than 700 passengers and was 760 feet long and 90 feet wide from port rail to starboard rail amidships. There was no first, second or tourist class and every passenger had run of her public rooms which included a 200 seat cinema, a sunlit swimming pool, an Elizabeth Arden beauty salon and a gymnasium. En route to South Africa, during the 13 and a half day voyage, the ship stopped at Las Palmas, Port Elizabeth and East London on the way there and Madeira instead of Las Palmas on its return route. Date: 1962

EDITORS COMMENTS
This cross-section drawing by G.H. Davis showcases the intricate interior design of the RMS Transvaal Castle, a magnificent mailship that graced the waves for the Union-Castle fleet from 1962. Launched a year prior to its maiden voyage from Southampton to South Africa, the Transvaal Castle was built by John Browns on the Clyde and measured an impressive 760 feet in length and 90 feet in width from port rail to starboard rail amidships. What sets the Transvaal Castle apart from other liners of its time was its innovative passenger accommodation. Gone were the days of rigid class distinctions, as every passenger had the run of her public rooms. These included a spacious 200-seat cinema, a sunlit swimming pool, an Elizabeth Arden beauty salon, and a gymnasium. The 13.5-day voyage to South Africa included stops at Las Palmas, Port Elizabeth, and East London on the way there, and Madeira instead of Las Palmas on the return route. This detailed drawing offers a glimpse into the Transvaal Castle's interior, revealing the thoughtful design and luxurious amenities that made travel by sea an unforgettable experience. With its elegant lines and inviting spaces, the RMS Transvaal Castle remains an iconic representation of ocean travel in the early 1960s.
