All info I can find about the ship not sure if any help and I don;t know really where to suggest looking as it apears no lists were kept after 1960
P & O Line
Between 1890 until 1960, a complete record of ships arriving and departing the UK were kept by the Board of Trade. These lists have recently been digitized and present the most straightforward and uncomplicated way of searching for passengers.
After 1960 The Board of Trade was no longer required to collect passenger lists after 1960, although lists may have been kept in some overseas countries or ports beyond this date. For their own purposes shipping companies would have continued to compile passenger lists, but in most cases, these records have not been retained.
After 1960 it was no longer a requirement for shipping companies to deposit passenger lists with UK authorities, and neither P&O nor the UK authorities have any passenger lists after that date.
