The ship was Lloyd Triestino's MV Africa where they had turtle races featuring live turtles instead of horse racing. The turles were owned by the ship's purser. I travelled on Africa's running mate MV Europa, so I never got to see them because the other Lloyd Triestino ships had the standard horse racing.
