Change of role...

The iconic funnel...
In 1982, following the withdrawal of the MS Dwarka from Persian Gulf service, the SS Uganda became the final ship with the once well-known B.I. funnel colours. Her oversized funnel was literally her crowning glory, and many passengers and crew became proud of it. The appearance of the funnel remained almost unchanged during the ship's 34 years with the exception of a brief period during and immediately after the Falklands War.
