Sailing on five of these most beautiful lavendar hulled liners, from Southampton to Africa and the Cape, between 1940 - 1970. Every Thursday at exactly 1600 hours, one of the great Union-Castle liners would sail from Southampton on the mail run to Capetown. In this unique DVD see just what it was like to have sailed aboard those great liners.

Edinburgh Castle * Pendennis Castle * Windsor Castle * Transvaal Castle * Reina del Mar

The programme also includes film of the ships being built and launched as well as spectacular passing sea shots of other ships in the fleet (a speciality of Union-Caslte) and the very emotional final sailing of "Windsor Castle" from Capetown
