A small passenger ship under Greek ownership but with Panamanian flag, Dolores crossed the Mediterranean and the Aegean for three or four years in the post-1947 period which, as Ellinis pointed out in the Terpsichore article, was a period of great need of ships from West to East Mediterranean Sea. See http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showpost.php?p=246315&postcount=4
Κάποια στιγμή ανελκύστηκε και το 1947 το αγόρασε κάποιος Δανιέλλος που το επισκεύασε. Έκανε επίσης και ένα δρομολόγιο από Αλεξάνδρεια, Βυρηττό προς Πειραιά.
Δεν ήταν λίγα τα καραβάκια είχαν δρομολογηθεί το 46/50 μεταξύ Αλεξάνδρειας και Πειραιά, τα περισσότερα μικρά ή παμπάλαια αποσύρθηκαν σύντομα.
Dolores was built at the Fairfield Govan shipyards as the yacht Queen of Scots in March 1904. She had 606 tons, 53.5 m length and 8.7 m width. By comparison, she was about 15% shorter than Cadio that was doing similar routes in 1948. She belonged to William Allan Coats, Glasgow
but transferred to Thomas Coats in 1926. In 1931 she became yet another yacht of the famous Anthony Drexel of Philadelphia (see http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=57229&highlight=drexel) In 1939 she went to M. Graham White of Southampton, Long Island
In 1947 she was bought by Manzanilla Navigation Company of Panama, a company belonging to the successors of the Kyriakides family (see http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showpost.php?p=200593&postcount=3) and was converted for passengers. She was broken up at Savona in May 1952, at age 48.
