The Pretoria Castle (28,705 grt, 747 ft. long) was
the first Union-Castle ship to be completed after the war. She and
her sister Edinburgh Castle sailed on the mail run to Cape Town from
1948. She was sold to Safmarine in 1966 and renamed S.A. Oranje, but
continued in the same service managed by Union-Castle. She was sold
to be broken up in 1975.
