The , often shortened to just P&O, were a global transport company active in at least 1887. They arranged at least passenger service on some of the world's longest routes, such at the multi-week journey between Tilbury and Bombay which Bernice Summerfield, the Seventh Doctor, John Watson and Sherlock Holmes once endured. This voyage, and its return, were undertaken on the SS Matilda Briggs, and involved passage by Port Said through the Suez Canal. (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire)
