I was two years older and actually celebrated my 11th birthday onboard the Empress of France one day out of Liverpool, England. this was my second birthday celebration at sea. The first time had been my third birthday on board the Empire Brent in 1948. Unlike the S.S. Strathnaver  this time we travelled in a outer starboard side (right side facing the bow of the ship) Family Cabin B59 with four-berths and three portholes!
