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.
