We have some nice photographs of the ship Athinai from 1912 when she participated (with Aris, Sofia and many other ships) in the removal of the Bulgarian army from Thessaloniki to Dede Agach (Alexandroupolis)

Here is a first photo with Athinai (very left) and the famous Aris (later also known as Mykonos) in the middle

A few minutes later, the photographer Gaziades catches Athinai (left) in an even better position.

Έχω την εντύπωση ότι το παρακάτω Wega <μοιάζει > με το Athinai που φωτογράφισε ο Γκαζιάδης

Toξότη, το πλοίο στη φωτογραφία που ανέβασες είναι ένα εγγλέζικο ποστάλι της Yeoward Line. Με τρία ιστία, κάθετη πλώρη και 3.500 τόνους χωρητικότητα δεν βλέπω τις ομοιότητες με το ΑΘΗΝΑΙ που είχε δυο ιστία, πλώρη κλίπερ και ήταν 940 τόνοι...
