RMS Pretoria Castle / S.A. Oranje Engine Room Inclinometer
A wonderful vintage marine inclinometer, originally from the engine room of the passenger liner S.A. Oranje, formerly RMS Pretoria Castle.
Built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast in 1948 for the Union-Castle Line, this magnificent 28,705-ton ocean liner operated between Southampton and South Africa. Renamed S.A. Oranje in 1966, she continued carrying passengers until 1975, when she was withdrawn from service and sent for scrapping in Taiwan.
The instrument features a substantial swinging brass pointer, engraved scale measuring 30 degrees to port and starboard, and a beautifully shaped polished wooden backboard.
Retaining its original identification plaque, inscribed “FROM ENG. RM. OF S.A. ORANJE 1948–1975”, this handsome instrument is a fascinating survivor of a celebrated ocean liner.
An exceptional decorative piece with genuine maritime provenance, ideal for a nautical collection, coastal interior or traditional study.
