Featured Boat: SS Santa Maria

Four “M” class cargo-liners were built in 1963/64 for South American services, replacing three of the 1946 sisters. They were fitted with travelling gantry cranes fore and aft for rapid unloading, and their large passenger capacity of 117 gave them priority access through the Panama Canal and to ports. They ceased carrying passengers soon after the Prudential Line acquired a controlling interest in Grace Line in 1970. However, a new passenger-cargo service from US West Coast ports around South America was started in 1972. In 1978, the service and ships were acquired by Delta Line, who continued the service until about 1983 when they were scrapped.
