Welcome to our website celebrating the famous S/S Uganda of the British India Steam Navigation Company Ltd. The Uganda was built in 1952 and served on their London to East Africa service via the Suez Canal. She later became a well known educational cruise ship and finally saw active service as a hospital ship and later as a troopship during the Falklands War. This very popular ship was retired from service  in 1985 and a preservation campaign was launched to try to save her as a "classic example of British passenger shipping". Sadly this campaign was unsuccessful and the venerable Uganda set sail on her final voyage bound for the scrappers after a distinguished, eventful and long career.
