Fairstar cruise to Jamaica

[Wolfgang_avon]

Does anyone know, did the Fairstar, Sitmar Line, ever sail to Jamaica? I have just printed out one of the most sensational photos I have ... ever ... seen, of the Fairstar. There's a song I heard as as kid by Harry Belafonte, Jamaica Farewell: 'I took a trip on a sailing ship'. Memories ...

Most likely she did call in Jamaica, however not on a cruise but as part of her migrant voyages. During the closure of the Suez Canal between 1967 & 1975 Sitmar sent the ships out via South Africa and back via Panama, so call would have occured then.

 

Cheers,
