Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (known as P&O) gained a controlling interest in the Orient Line in 1918, its partner in the England- Australia mail route. After the second world war the company boomed with the advent of paid-passages for immigrants to Australia, known as Ten Pound Poms. P&O built 15 large passenger liners, including SS Himalaya, SS Chusan, SS Arcadia (1954), and SS Iberia (1954), culminating in SS Canberra, its last & largest in 1961. By 1968 over 1 million immigrants had arrived - many via P&O - and Australia ended the program. P&O then entered the cruise market and began to sell & scrap many of these liners.
