Elder Dempster Lines - 'APAPA' (postcard)
Black and white photographic postcard showing port view of the APAPA at sea. Handwritten message and address on reverse, with two Ghana stamps and postmarked Ghana 1957.
The Apapa was built in 1947/8 entering service in March 1948. She was sister ship to the Accra that had entered service in September 1947. She was the shorter of the two vessels being identical in other aspects. This was due to a shortage of steel during her building.
