Additional information:
Several trolleybuses have just arrived at Montevideo on board the "Fraser River" of the Houlder Line.

This ship had been built as a Liberty ship in 1944 by Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc, Baltimore, Maryland and named "Samsoaring". It was sold by the Ministry of War Transport in 1947 and renamed "Fraser River" by its new owners. They only kept it until 1952 when it was sold on, leading a rather chequered career until it was scrapped in Vietnam in 1973.
