FindMyPast is wrong. The ship was bound for Bermuda, Nassau, Kingston, Havana, Cartogena, St Christobal, Lobitos, La Libertad, Callao, Valparaiso etc.

Ah - I see
Lobito is Angola
Lobitos is Peru
According to the ships web page its regular run was to South America - so the 'findmypast' reference could be a transcription problem

Ah - you replied whilst I was typing

After a visit back in England in 1957, they were off to Canada on the Carinthia on 22 May of that year.

There's a death I thought might be her in Middlesbrough, 1968 age abt right but unless she came back from Canada I must be wrong.

William Horobin, her Uncle left Liverpool for Montreal in 1952, then after a return, again in 1956.
I wonder if they followed him.

Callao being the Port of Lima, Peru.  Been to Lima a couple of times, in 2002 and 2007, whilst my son lived there and will be there next March on a South America cruise- 'round the Horn', Buenos Aires to Los Angeles.
Residing in Batemans Bay, Australia, but originally from 'Mother England', transported to HM Colonies in 1966.
