The first name of the ship was San Giusto and she belonged to Tarabochia


Tarabochia was established at Trieste in 1864 for the goodwill of an old Lussinian family with the main object to act as Steamship Owners Agents and Brokers of regular lines and trips for sailing boats and steamships. (Then Lussinpiccolo was a beautiful Austrian island not very far from Trieste. Now this island is Croatian territory renamed Mali Losinj).

Since the first years of its activity Tarabochia represented the main Shipping Companies of that time such as Austrian Union Shipping, Austro-Americana, and Navigazione a Vapore del Lloyd Austro Ungarico with regular lines between Trieste to North and South America, Adriatic, East and West Mediterranean, North Europe, United Kingdom and Norway.

Tarabochia embarked for many many years the Italian Emigrants with destination the America and down there it had many Emigration Offices to assist them.The Company was also for more than one hundred years Agent at Trieste of Det Norske Veritas (The Norwegian Register of Shipping). Consequently Tarabochia developed its activity very fast, and during the period that preceded the First World War, it become the leading Ship Agency in Trieste serving not only the Owners mentioned above, but also practically all the other Shipowners of Trieste and Lussinpiccolo, who were numerous at that time, and many important foreing Shipping Companies, some of which Tarabochia is still serving, as three of main Oil Companies in the World.

During the First and Second World War the activity of Tarabochia came to a practical standstill. After the Wars Trieste lost some of its traffic but not so Tarabochia. In fact all the old connections were mantained and also many other Shipowners placed their ships into the care of our Company.

Presently Tarabochia, which has now 140 years of continuous service, is the oldest Ship Agency in Trieste and one of the oldest in the Mediterranean area. Besides its activities of Insurance Company, Claims Agents, Forwarding Agents, Crew Manning Agents and Logistic, as Ship Agents activity our Company has a long and great experience and a tested organization in handling Liners, Tramps, Ro/Ro, Cruises and all types of Vessels.

Στην ετήσια έκδοση του περιοδικού Αργώ υπήρχε και η παρακάτω φωτογραφία του ΣΑΠΦΩ σε καιρό πολέμου με τα στοιχεία του και τις ελληνικές σημαίες ζωγραφισμένες στα πλευρά του σε ένδειξη ουδετερότητας.

Βυθίστηκε από το γερμανικό υποβρύχιο UC-46 στα ανοιχτά της Βρετάνης ενώ η Ελλάδα παρέμενε εκτός πολέμου, σε ένα ταξίδι από την Αλεξάνδρεια στο Hull της Αγγλίας με σπόρο βαμβακιού. Bέβαια οι Γερμανοί είχαν προειδοποιήσει από το 1915 με τα παρακάτω:

(1) The waters around Great Britain and Ireland, including the whole of the English Channel, are hereby declared to be a War Zone. From February 18 onwards every enemy merchant vessel encountered in this zone will be destroyed, nor will it always be possible to avert the danger thereby threatened to the crew and passengers.

(2) Neutral vessels also will run a risk in the War Zone, because in view of the hazards of sea warfare and the British authorization of January 31 of the misuse of neutral flags, it may not always be possible to prevent attacks on enemy ships from harming neutral ships.
Και η περιοχή που είχε κυρηχθεί εμπόλεμη ζώνη περιέχει και το σημείο βύθισης του ΣΑΠΦΩ:
