Found out more....this ship was formally the Florida.

Thanks for your reply. That's the point I was trying to make when I said details are sketchie and nothing is conclusive evidence. The facts are real and I can actually smell the dining room we ate in most evenings. I even recall befriending the Captain's son who was the same age as myself at the time and I was so impressed when he casted a hook over the side and actually caught something.....while sailing.

Can anyone tell me anything about a ship called Ascania??? I travelled on it in 1964 from Trinadad & Tobago to Southampton, England. I believed it docked in Southampton in October 1964 when I was on it. It stopped at Lisbon and also Jamaica (I believe). I was only 10 years old at the time. I have searched the web and the details are very sketchie and nothing seems to give conclusive eveidence to this particular ship. I also believe it to be registered as an Italian Ship when I sailed on it. I would love to know it's history.
