"THE MOST PERFECT MARITIME MASTERPIECE

OF THE CENTURY." —Winston Churchill

First Lord of the Admiralty

Winston Churchill was speaking of the SELANDIA, the world's first oceango- ing diesel motorship. It had docked in London, the first port of. call on its maiden voyage to Bangkok.

The SELANDIA was de- livered to The East Asiatic

Company by Burmeister &

Wain in February, 1912.

This revolutionary innova- tion that created wherever it appeared, had a deadweight capacity of 7,400 tons, two diesel en- gines with a total of 2,020 hp., and logged a steady 11- 12 knots.

Veritas oils were chosen to lubricate this vessel just as they are lubricating the latest SELANDIA, a 26-knot container ship with the larg- est diesel engine plant installed in a vessel. This

SELANDIA was also built by

Burmeister & Wain for The

East Asiatic Co., Copen- hagen.
