The PARTHIA was one of the first passenger ships entering service for Cunard from their pos-war building programme, launched on 25 Feb 1947 and making her maiden voyage, from Liverpool to New York, on 10 Apr 1948. In Jul 1961, following the decline of sea-travel to the USA, she was sold to the New Zealand Shipping Co, a P and O subsidiary, and renamed the REMURA, in 1965 sold on to the Eastern Australian Steamship Co and renamed the ARAMAC, and sold finally in 1969 when it to Kaohsiung for scrap.
