RMS Maloja
RMS ''Maloja'' was a British ocean liner that saw service from 1923 to 1954.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company ordered two sister ships, RMS ''Maloja'' and , from Harland and Wolff Ltd on 29 November 1918. Hull number 588〔 was named ''Maloja'', after a previous that was a 1911 M-class liner that had been sunk by a German mine in 1916. The interior design was in keeping with the high standards of the Line. The public rooms were luxurious, completely decorated and lofty. All first and second class cabins had portholes. The dining saloon seated 330; it was panelled in a neo-Georgian style, finished throughout in ivory white, with the doors and architraves in polished mahogany. The reading and music saloon was in the style of Louis XVI with large French windows. RMS ''Maloja'' was launched by Hon. Elsie Mackay, daughter of the company's chairman James Mackay, 1st Earl of Inchcape, on 19 April 1923. ''Maloja'' and ''Mooltan'' eventually earned a reputation for comfort and reliability. ''Maloja'' was delivered on 25 October 1923. The two sister ships were the largest that could comfortably pass through the Suez Canal at that time.
==Maiden voyage==
On 2 November 1923 RMS ''Maloja'' began her maiden voyage. Her design had prioritised reliability and comfort over speed. She had broad decks and rode steadily, although (because of a small rudder) she would prove difficult to handle. On 18 January 1924 the two ships began running the fortnightly service between Tilbury and Sydney ''via'' Colombo and Melbourne. In November 1923 ''Maloja'' was caught in a dockworkers' strike in Australia and after a delayed departure was forced to abandon 6,000 tons of cargo left on the dockside. In March 1933 ''Maloja'' ran aground in Adelaide but was re-floated without sustaining significant damage. In January 1933 ''Maloja'' was in Gibraltar Bay, loading cargo from a lighter in severe weather. An anchor and of chain pulled free and were lost.
