Heavy duty wooden box (no lid) (Alta Vista)

This 34” x 26” x 19” (inside dimensions) wooden box is solid and probably has some interesting history. Outside dimensions are 38” x 28” x 21”. Made from 3/4” x 6” (true measure) half-lap-jointed wood. No lid unfortunately. The box had been stored for many (60?) years inside.

From the stamped lettering it appears that it was used to ship items between an RCAF station in Saskatoon and Le Havre (France, I assume) aboard the S.S. Scythia in 1956. I suspect this would have been Cunard Lines’ R.M.S. Scythia ( https://wantedonthevoyage.blogspot.com/2020/10/cunards-old-reliable-rms-scythia.html?m=1 ).
