No, I was just a 7 year old kid, immigrating with my grandparents and mother.
I think that this "austerity" voyage was the last for the Aquitania. Her structure was failing...apparently, one could push a pencil through the metal of one of her four funnels, she was so rusty.
Thence to Faslane, Scotland for scrapping.
