Summary:

Archival caption: Britain's luxury cruise liner Canberra sets sail from Southampton with its cargo of troops heading to the Falkland Islands, prepared for war. Shipyard workers have turned the sun-trap decks into helicopter pads. Windbreaks have been ripped down. But other changes aimed at turning this flagship of the P&O line into a troop-carrier are secret. Pictured, family and friends waving goodbye to troops. 9th April 1982.
